Underpinned by the International Baccalaureate philosophy Bedford Girls' School focuses on providing a truly holistic education for girls. Central to their ethos is delivering an education which is not solely determined by academic success but by developing wider learner attributes. The school teaches students to think for themselves, to question and inquire. It develops growth mindsets, where students are willing to work independently, move out of their comfort zones, reflect on their decisions and learn from their mistakes. This approach yields excellent results both in and outside of the classroom and our happy, confident girls leave prepared for life in a globalised world.
