History

Work on the £100,000 school was meant to start September 1956.[2] The foundation stone laid by the Bishop of Nottingham, Edward Ellis, in June 1960. It would open in September 1961 for 360 children. £70,000 was paid for the school, by parishioners, with the rest by Lindsey Education Committee - for the canteen, dining room, medical inspection room, and playing fields. Children came from Brigg and St Norbert in Crowle.[3][4]

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by North Lincolnshire Council, St Bede's Catholic School was converted to academy status on 1 April 2012 and was renamed St Bede's Catholic Voluntary Academy. The school forms part of the Northern Lincolnshire Catholic Academy Trust[5] which is supported by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham.
