Boarding Options

For boys in the Upper School we offer three types of boarding:

Full boarding: Boys board at school seven days a week but return home or to guardians for exeats and holidays. 

Weekly boarding: Boys board during the week but leave for home on Saturday once their sporting commitments have been completed. They then return to school either on Sunday evening or on Monday morning.

Flexi boarding: Boys board for either two or three nights per week, selected from either the first half (Sunday to Tuesday) or the second half (Wednesday to Friday) of the week. Full details of the flexi boarding offer can be found here

Our Houses

Our Boarding Houses are at the heart of life at Bedford School. Burnaby, Pemberley, Phillpotts and Talbot’s houses are situated on the boundaries of the school estate while Redburn and Sanderson’s occupy sites in a leafy suburban area just five minutes’ walk from the school. Full and weekly boarders are spread across all six houses. Flexi boarders in year 11 and above live exclusively in Burnaby, with those in years 9 and 10 boarding in the other five houses.

Each of our six upper boarding houses offers boys a true ‘home from home’. Each house is distinctive; a genuinely warm and welcoming community with a character of its own. We invite you to take a look inside.
