Bedford High School Remembers


Silent Tribute to Heroes

The haunting strains of The Last Post filled the corridors and classrooms of Bedford High School on Friday as the school paid a poignant tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The stirring rendition of the famous military call heralded the start of two minutes' silence during which students and staff lowered their heads in quiet reflection.


International School Award


Bedford High School incorporates Internationalism as part of its ethos. We have been awarded the Intermediate International Schools Award and we are applying for full status.
