Bedford School

De Parys Avenue, Bedford, MK40 2TU

Proud recipients of five stars in Fortune’s World’s Leading Boarding Schools in 2023 and named UK Independent Boys’ School of the Year 2021.

At Bedford School we seek to raise good people first and foremost; and then to allow them to flourish as academics, as sportsmen, as artists and above all as themselves, in a supportive and ambitious atmosphere. On a foundation of outstanding academic results, the school is dedicated to nurturing a wide variety of individual interests and to developing these as far as boys can take them. We aim to raise balanced, outward-looking, forward-thinking, kind and sociable young men who are comfortable in their own skins. In this all-boys environment, boys can develop without inhibition and awkwardness, and feel able and keen to participate to the fullest.

All boys are able to take full advantage of the opportunities that this large and thriving boarding school offers.

From their earliest years, they are encouraged to become independent and lifelong learners, who understand the need to work hard, to take risks, to be resilient and constantly strive to be the best that they can be, leaving school having reached their full academic potential and above all, as well-rounded young men.
