Bede Academy is ESF’s first 3-18 school and opened in September 2009 with Nursery, Primary and Secondary provision across two sites in Blyth on the Northumberland coast. Specialising in Engineering and Enterprise, the school focuses on extending conventional perceptions of engineering by providing specialist insights into aspects of biotechnology, environmental science and recycling technologies, sound and computer network engineering, medical and animal science, and naval and automotive systems and design.

As a result of Northumberland’s move away from the Middle School System, Bede became responsible for education in the south east of the town when South Beach First and Wensleydale Middle Schools closed in August 2009.

Growing to a student population of 670 (Nursery and Primary) and 1150 (Secondary Years) by 2013, the Academy opened with only 1270 in total as the Secondary provision begins with only Years 7, 8 and 9.

Bede builds upon the excellent reputations of the predecessor schools, seeking to develop a strong relationship with Blyth Community College in the north of the town.
