Teacher Case Studies

Find out about the staff behind the schools. In these case studies, we ask a selection of teachers across the Bedales schools about their activities, inspiration, good teaching, and what makes Bedales special.

"We are working with the whole person here, not just a bit of him or her."

"A good teacher at Bedales is; someone who genuinely enjoys the company of young people, who has personal integrity and who does not try to be something they are not; Bedalians are terrier-like at spotting affectation!"

"The social interactions I have witnessed here are the most polite and respectful I have ever experienced."

"We are willing to keep trying new things, as well as protecting the things that are special and shouldn't change."
