Our boarding and day school for boys aged 7-18 years

Bedford School

Bedford School stands proudly behind its ambition “That They Be Good Men”, seeking 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.

Excellent academic results, superb facilities, inspiring teaching, extensive co-curricular activities and the highest standards of pastoral care all combine to offer boys a happy, complete and balanced education in an environment free of gender stereotypes.

Well known across the world, Bedford School is an award-winning boarding and day school for boys aged 7 to 18, which successfully merges its rich heritage with a focus on preparing boys for their future, enabling them to thrive, not only through their school days but through university and beyond.

Attracting students from a wealth of cultures and nationalities, Bedford School’s diverse community is characterised by a warm and friendly atmosphere, where full, weekly and flexi boarders interact happily with day boys in all areas of school life.

From the classroom to the sports field, in laboratories and art studios, on trips and tours, boys are challenged academically, developed as people, and fully prepared to enter the challenging and changing world of today.

Bedford School. That they be good men.

Our History

SIR WILLIAM HARPUR’S VISION

The Harpur Trust was founded over 450 years ago by Sir William Harpur, a local man born to humble beginnings who made his fortune as a merchant tailor and became Lord Mayor of London in 1561.

Today our activities are still inspired by Sir William Harpur’s vision. He understood the value of education, and he saw what needed to be addressed to support the people in his hometown of Bedford.
