Community

Bedford School

Bedford School has a thriving and welcoming community that extends far beyond current pupils and staff to include parents, past parents, former staff, and Old Bedfordians (OBs).

The community is overseen by the Bedford School Association (BSA).

The Bedford School Association (BSA) exists to unite and celebrate the Bedford School community – past and present. Through inspiring stories, exciting events, and career-building opportunities, the BSA fosters connection, pride, and lifelong support. Whether it’s sharing OB achievements, showcasing school life, or opening doors through our extensive network, the BSA is here to champion every member of our vibrant community.

“A trip to the other side the world to visit relations in New Zealand provided an ideal opportunity to meet up with Old Bedfordians whilst en route. Using the Alumni Directory I was able to contact the DVPs in Dubai, Auckland, Sydney and Singapore. Get togethers were quickly arranged and we were able to enjoy the delightful company of OBs, wives and partners at several enchanting venues in many wonderful cities.”
