The capacity of Bedales students to think independently and creatively, and to deliver strong A Level grades makes them attractive to a broad range of top universities. Bedales students have a reputation with universities for their independence of mind and have frequently offered unusual academic and personal profiles in their application for courses.
Our top higher education destinations are a diverse mix of Oxbridge, Russell Group universities and art colleges. Bedales students therefore arrive at a similar place to those in more formal education settings; they have just taken a different route.
Many of our alumni remain actively engaged with the school, returning to offer advice and support for the students following in their footsteps. We make the most of Bedalians’ willingness to learn from each other and to share experiences.
At Bedales, we offer a gradual and structured introduction to the world of careers and higher education.

Public examination results, set out below, are placed within the broader context of Bedalians' overall achievements. We do this because our aims are ambitious, both academically - "to develop inquisitive thinkers with a love of learning who cherish independent thought" - and, more broadly, in terms of students' personal development.
Having said this, our desire to develop inquisitive, independent-minded people with a good breadth of interests is no substitute for strong academic achievement, reflected in measurable ways - public exam results, access to higher education and successful careers. The intention with the information published here is to give prospective and current students and parents a better sense of Bedalians' various trajectories - at school and in their subsequent university and professional careers.
