Bedales was founded in 1893 by John Haden Badley to educate the ‘head, hand and heart’. Over the past 100 years, the school has evolved and developed – assisted by the generous support of Old Bedalians, parents and others – and the school’s founding principles and spirit still remain very much at its core.
Ways to show your support

Our registered charity providing transformative bursary support and funding capital developments to benefit students now and in the future. We've already changed the lives of 37 children through fully funded bursaries with an aim to support over 20 annually.

Bedales Grants Trust Fund

Founded in 1927, this independent charity has provided bursary funding for Bedales students, particularly those with Old Bedalian connections, for nearly a century through generous giving.

2025 Rock Studio Appeal

Over the past 20 years, the Rock Studio has become the heartbeat of Bedales Contemporary Music. A comprehensive refurbishment of the Rock Studio is now required, giving future students the chance to build on this legacy and bring their own projects to life.

My five years at Bedales have been some of the greatest I’ve had, and it has changed me completely.
