Sports Scholarships are available to boys who demonstrate outstanding sporting ability and potential for future development in one or more of our four major sports of rugby, hockey, cricket and rowing.
Sports scholars are expected to provide leadership and act as role models, setting the very best example in training and attitude, both in specific sessions and their own preparation. They are expected to embody the genuine sporting ethos of Bedford School: to play sport with determination and a drive for success but always within the rules. They are also asked to share their invaluable advice and provide guidance to our junior teams. Our sports scholars are offered clear specialist mentoring, with personalised advice on fitness, mental aptitude, and diet. They also benefit from access to a sports psychologist, a conditioning coach and on-site physiotherapy.
