Catholic Life CPD: Forming, Guiding, Inspiring
At Our Lady and St Bede, Catholic Life CPD is a regular and meaningful part of staff development. Our sessions are timely, themed, and focused, helping to form, guide, and inspire staff in their role within Catholic education.
This year’s sessions were led by Mr Hughes, Fr Mark Milward, and Fr Mark Lyden-Smith, offering rich opportunities to reflect on our shared mission. We’ve also been privileged to welcome speakers such as Mrs Shields, Dr Peter Vardy, and Andrew Gardner, whose contributions continue to shape our thinking.
A unique and much-valued part of our Catholic Life is our Prayer Partners, where our pupil Faith Leaders pray one-to-one with staff, offering a quiet, personal moment of faith and connection.
Together, these moments help ensure that our Catholic identity is not just taught—but lived.
