"An unpretentious school which has everything a boy could need" Good Schools Guide Excellent academic results, superb facilities, inspiring teaching, extra-curricular activities and the highest standards of pastoral care all combine at Bedford School to offer boys a happy, complete and balanced education.

Bedford is a leading all-boys boarding and day school which successfully merges its rich heritage with a quickly changing world to enable boys to thrive, not only through their school days but through university and beyond. For boys aged 7 to 18, we offer the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to explore abilities in an inspiring and supportive environment that takes into account their own needs and talents.

Our community is characterised by a warm and friendly atmosphere, where full/weekly boarders and day boys happily interact in all areas of School life.

Academic excellence is central to school life, and we encourage boys to aspire to the highest possible standards and to exceed their expectations. We have a long history of impressive exam results at GCSE and A-Level. From the classroom to the sports field, in laboratories and art studios, on trips and tours, boys are challenged academically, socially and culturally.

They benefit from our dedicated and highly qualified staff, and outstanding facilities. They learn exciting new skills and knowledge, and how to prepare themselves for a successful future. They thrive in our warm and friendly atmosphere and happily interact in all areas of school life.
