Boarding and Day School for boys aged 7 - 18 years

Boarding at Bedford 

All of our 6 senior boarding houses offer the best care for the individual. Each house functions broadly as a family unit with the Housemaster and his wife leading a team of people who are committed to the boys in their care.

All of the boarding houses are well appointed with attractive and comfortable bedrooms and full recreational facilities including a common room, games room and extensive grounds. Whilst main meals are taken in the School's dining halls, each house has its own kitchen where boys can make themselves snacks and drinks during the evenings. The houses are also networked to enable boys to make use of the School's email system, intranet and of course, study using the internet.

The House Community thrives and develops through its involvement in House Singing, theatre visits, informal competitions, paintballing, plays, quizes, barbecues and celebrations. The well established work ethos, supervised preps (homework) and personal study allow each individual to work towards their academic goals.
