St Bede’s is an all age [13-18] girls’ house situated on Aumit Hill with stunning views overlooking the valley.

The first girls moved into a carefully renovated Aumit House in 2006, continuing the history of one of the original houses from 1926. Previous housemasters include Cardinal Basil Hume.  The patron saint of Bede - also known as the Venerable Bede - is widely regarded as the greatest of all the Anglo-Saxon scholars, with his lively account of the conversion of the British, Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum.  The aim in St Bede's is to foster independent, caring and resourceful girls.  The house can cater for 66 boarders; the first year sleep in spacious dormitories of four, they share in the next two years and the sixth form all have single rooms, many with en-suite shower rooms.

Mrs and Mr Anglim are joint housemistress and housemaster of St Bede’s. With previous experience at co-educational day and boarding schools, they have been at Ampleforth since 2001, Mr Anglim was originally resident Assistant Housemaster in St Edward’s and St Wilfrid’s. They both teach Design and Technology and live in the house with their own two children, Oscar and Erin, and their dog, Xena.
