Upcoming open mornings

Friday 15 May, 9-11am - Bedales Pre-prep Experience Morning

Come and celebrate the warmth and energy of late spring at Bedales this May during our Pre-prep Experience Morning for families interested in Early Years up to Year 3 (3-8 years).

You'll have the opportunity to explore our inspiring Nursery and Pre-prep environment during a tour of the school, as well as the chance to chat with our passionate teaching staff over light refreshments.

We'd then love for you and your child to join us for a variety of seasonal, nature-inspired activities led by our specialist Outdoor Work Teacher, sparking curiosity, hands-on exploration and imaginative play.

We'd love to see you at Bedales, and we're excited to share our magical school with you.

Having four children with very different personalities and abilities, we wanted a school in which they could all flourish and achieve their unique potentials. They are part of a diverse and outward looking community.
