Cultivating a community of lifelong learners
A co-educational day and boarding school for 3-18 years
On a stunning 120-acre countryside campus, Bedales is a place where creativity, curiosity, and individuality come to life. We balance high academic challenge with ambitious imaginative expression, offering a warm and authentic environment where students are free to think for themselves, explore their passions, and grow within an inclusive community.
Guided by our founding motto, ‘work of each for weal of all’, collaboration and care are woven into daily life - like the industrious bee, every student plays a role in shaping a thriving and purposeful school.
