Set in the peaceful countryside, the children took part in a variety of activities designed to encourage **teamwork, reflection, and spiritual development**. A key focus of the trip was exploring the stories of **St. Paul** and learning how they could be a ‘living hope’ in their own lives. Through discussions and creative tasks, pupils deepened their understanding of St. Paul’s mission and reflected on how his teachings apply to everyday life. They were inspired by his resilience and unwavering faith, creating artwork, writing prayers, and sharing personal reflections on how they can be brave and compassionate. This residential not only strengthened their spiritual awareness but also fostered lasting friendships and a strong sense of community—values they proudly carried back to school. ![](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/552355203_1657857595134541_2615996506225268072_n.jpg)![](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/550982128_1657875161799451_5821743542199846216_n.jpg) [ Families Celebrate the Joy of Reading at St. Bede’s](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2025-11-25-families-celebrate-the-joy-of-reading-at-st-bede-s) [A Wonderful Day at Beamish Museum for St. Bede’s Key Stage 1 Pupils ](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2025-11-27-a-wonderful-day-at-beamish-museum-for-st-bede-s-key-stage-1-pupils) ![St Bede’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Bede’s Catholic Primary School Kingsway Darlington County Durham DL1 3ES 01325 466411 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbedesrcprimaryschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stbedes_darlington/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Bede’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
