The Bede Express

Welcome aboard The Bede Express, a unique and inspiring space at Bede Community Primary School where children can dive into the world of books, games, creativity, and socialization. This decommissioned local bus has been transformed into an outdoor classroom, providing a safe and comfortable environment for our students to learn and play.

A Hub for Book Lovers

The Bede Express is a haven for young readers. Stocked with a diverse collection of books, this space invites children to explore new worlds through reading. Whether they’re delving into a thrilling adventure, discovering new facts, or enjoying a whimsical tale, students can find joy and inspiration in the pages of a book.

Games and Fun

Beyond books, The Bede Express is also a place for fun and games. With a variety of board games and interactive activities, children can engage in playful learning that promotes critical thinking, strategy, and teamwork. This playful aspect of The Bede Express makes learning an enjoyable and enriching experience.

A Quiet Moment

Listening to audio stories on bus is great for pupils. These stories help improve listening skills and make it easier to pay attention. They also let pupils use their imagination to picture the story. Audio stories are a fun way to learn new words and hear different ways of telling stories. They are especially good for pupils who have trouble reading or seeing. Listening to these stories can help pupils relax and feel calm, making their time on the reading bus enjoyable and enriching.

A Social Space

The Bede Express is more than just a learning space; it’s a social hub where children can come together, share ideas, and build friendships. The welcoming atmosphere encourages collaboration and communication, helping students develop important social skills in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

Comfortable and Safe

Safety and comfort are paramount on The Bede Express. The bus has been fitted with electricity, lighting, and radiators to ensure a cosy environment year-round. Our staff have taken great care to make the space secure and child-friendly, creating an inviting place for students to spend their time.

At Bede Community Primary School, we believe in providing innovative and engaging learning environments. The Bede Express exemplifies this commitment, offering a unique space where children can explore, create, and grow. It’s a place where education meets adventure, and every visit is a new journey of discovery.
