Year 9

As specialists in boys’ education, we are committed to helping every boy realise his full potential—academically, socially and personally. In the Upper School, we focus on preparing young men for the real challenges and opportunities of today’s world, and for the future they are stepping into.Bedford School is a school which understands boys; it understands the need for great pastoral care in this period of their lives, for working well with parents, for setting high expectations in all they do (whilst working hard to get through the tricky periods), for believing in boys when they doubt themselves, for keeping them busy and engaged.Our academic approach at Bedford School centres on maximising each boy’s academic potential. And we do that in a way that differentiates us from other similar schools. We have outstanding facilities, as many schools do, but it is our teaching that makes us different.
