Welcome from the Headmistress

Our students soar; they are the creative thinkers, change-makers and problem-solvers of the future.

We place our students at the heart of all that we do and our expert understanding imbues us with the ability to ensure they  will reach their true potential.

We all recognise that the world is uncertain, it is rapidly changing and education needs to anticipate and evolve if we are to properly prepare our students to enter a world full of new possibilities.

We are a future inspired school at the forefront of integrating technology and innovation into teaching. We will nurture your daughter so she develops the attributes, intellect and self-confidence to seize every opportunity and to take-on every challenge.

We achieve outstanding examinations results but these are no longer enough to guarantee success, our students must be ready to build a career in roles that do not yet exist. They will need to be agile, to communicate effectively, work independently, demonstrate empathy, question deeply and to have the ability to think creatively to find solutions.

I am incredibly proud to be the Headmistress of this incredible school of over 850 students from the age of 7-18. They grow up free from gender stereotypes. They learn who they are in a safe, supportive and joyful community, where we truly value and celebrate every individual.

Situated on the banks of the River Great Ouse in Bedford we are easily accessible for students coming from Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

We love welcoming visitors into our School. I hope you will take the opportunity to come and see what makes Bedford Girls’ School so exceptional.
