The Bedales Difference in Action
A Bedales education enables our students to develop in a
variety of areas, nurturing individual talents whilst building the confidence to forge unique career paths. Old Bedalians have gone
on to flourish in careers ranging from professors, architects and
vets, to artists, writers and singers - reflecting the school's commitment to educating 'head, hand and heart'.
We are delighted that many Old Bedalians are keen to support the school and current students, be that from professional guidance, talks or financial support for bursaries and other development initiatives.
A selection of our alumni describe their fondest memories
of Bedales and tell us what it is they learnt at school and how
their education helped to shape their futures.
