Welcoming girls from September 2027
Bedford School is a Co-educational Boarding and Day School for ages 7 to 18.
At Bedford, we hold a simple belief: That each become more. Every young person should have the time and space to grow into themselves – not forced into shape, not rushed, not overlooked, but stretched to think deeply, to be intellectually curious, and to develop the confidence to aim higher and go further.
As we open our doors to girls, Bedford moves forward with rooted progress; steadied by its values, enriched by new voices and shaped for the world ahead.
An exciting new chapter that brings…
Wider Perspectives
As Bedford welcomes girls, the school itself becomes more: broader in perspective, richer in experience
and strengthened by new voices and opportunities.
Greater Belonging
As we open our doors more widely, Bedford itself grows too – the same values, but a broader, fuller community and a richer life shared together.
A Richer Community
Every young person should have the time and space to grow into themselves. But none of us does that alone. It happens in a community: through friendships, shared expectations, support and challenge.
That each
become more
become more
Start their incredible journey today.
