At Bedford, our staff are skilled, passionate, well-qualified and, without doubt, our greatest asset.

Working at Bedford School

With enthusiasm, kindness and skill, our teachers and support staff help each boy to develop, realise his academic potential and love his childhood at Bedford School. Boys at Bedford are both happy and successful, pleasingly in equal measure.

“I am delighted that you are considering Bedford School. Bedford is a dynamic and incredibly rewarding place to work with a strong sense of community, a community very much shaped by boarding. To have over 200 boys and 40 or so staff living full-time on site gives a heartbeat to the school in a way that nothing else can.

To quote one of our boys “You don’t learn it. You live it.”

James Hodgson, Head Master
