Disabled Access

At Saint Bede’s we have made adjustments to the layout of the buildings to enable people with a phyical disability to access the site. These include:

Lift access in the main building to allow learners to access the first floor.
Ramps or low door thresholds to ensure access is easy both inside and outside the building.
Disabled parking accommodation close to the main entrance and at the side of the school.
The science and technology building, along with the Sports Hall are on one level and are fully accessible to all learners.
The Drake building is spread over two floors and disabled students are taught on the lower floor as the building does not have a disabled lift
An audit of the auditory environment has shown good acoustics in the majority of classrooms which are carpeted and have window blinds and wall displays.
There is one toilet with disabled access.
There are adjustable height chairs available around school.
In the Science and Technology classrooms there are height adjustable tables.
