School Information
Bedstone, a fully co-educational independent boarding and day school catering for children between the ages of 3 to 18 years, enjoys a glorious setting in rural South Shropshire, set in 40 acres of beautiful grounds, within easy reach from all areas. The school consists of the Pre-preparatory Department for children age 3 to 7 years, the Preparatory School, for ages 8 to 11 years and the Senior College, for ages 11 to 18 years, all integrated within one campus. Bedstone offers a broad and balanced curriculum with over 17 examination subjects from GCSE, AS or A2. Over 95% of sixth formers proceed to University. Bedstone is consistently one of the top Shropshire Schools, state or independent. Our aim is to give individual attention enabling each pupil to achieve their potential. With low pupil: teacher ratios, the smaller classes allow for individual needs to be catered for. A well-qualified and highly motivated staff believe that each child has a unique talent which it is their job to find and nurture. Bedstone is very aware of the problems that learning difficulties such as dyslexia can cause. The highly regarded Learning support unit, led by its full time director with the aid of fully qualified staff is central to the help provided. Pupils participate in a wide selection of sporting activities including Hockey, Netball, Badminton, Cricket, Rugby, Athletics, Rounders, Football, Tennis, Cross-Country, Swimming – and more! In addition to outdoor pitches the school has a heated swimming pool and purpose built Sports Centre. Bedstone was one of the first schools to introduce Sports Studies at both GCSE and A level. A wide range of extra-curricular activities is enjoyed by all pupils.
