Bedford Girls’ School is an independent day school for girls aged 7 to 18, offering a dynamic and future-focused environment in which both students and staff thrive.

We place pupils at the centre of all we do, with a deep understanding of how girls learn and grow. Our educational approach is grounded in the philosophy of the International Baccalaureate, encouraging curiosity, independence and a global outlook.

As a future-inspired school, we are committed to evolving our educational practice to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. We value innovation, creativity and collaboration in the classroom, and support our staff in shaping an education that empowers students to become confident, ethical and adaptable young people.

Our estate offers modern, purpose-built facilities that support our forward-thinking approach. Technology is fully integrated across the curriculum, and our recognition as an Apple Distinguished School reflects our commitment to digital excellence. Specialist spaces for sport, the performing arts and STEM subjects allow students to explore their interests in depth, while our extensive co-curricular programme supports their broader development.

Academic success goes hand in hand with a rich co-curricular programme. While our examination results are consistently strong, we place equal emphasis on developing the wider skills pupils need to succeed beyond school, such as communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.

From Years 3 to Upper Sixth, our curriculum is underpinned by ten learner profiles, which support our well-rounded approach to teaching and learning. Classrooms are places of energy and imagination, while across the school there is a shared commitment to nurturing a positive, inclusive and purposeful environment.

Located on the banks of the River Great Ouse in Bedford, the school is easily accessible from Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
