St Bede's Catholic Middle School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2021 entry, 3 families put St Bede's Catholic Middle School as their first choice and 11 named it as one of their preferences, for 9 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2021 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Across Worcestershire, 88% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 96% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Worcestershire lodged 137 appeals against secondary school offers; 104 reached a hearing and 19 succeeded (18.3% of those heard).
