Our children rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into planting a variety of young trees — smaller ones to support nesting birds, and larger fruit trees that will continue to grow and give back to our community for many years to come. As part of their **Lenten reflection walk**, the children paused to think deeply about caring for creation and the shared responsibility we all have for our world. Watching them approach the activity with such enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and care was truly inspiring — a real example of stewardship in action. **It was an afternoon filled with learning, reflection and plenty of muddy smiles — the very best kind!** [Latest News](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/tag/latest-news) [ St Bede’s Choir Shines at the Darlington Mayor’s Song Contest! ](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-07-st-bede-s-choir-shines-at-the-darlington-mayor-s-song-contest) [What an Amazing Forest Friday! ](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-20-what-an-amazing-forest-friday) ![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/)
