Bedford Modern School

Our Co-Educational Day School for Children Aged 7-18

Bedford Modern School

Bedford Modern School (BMS) provides the perfect environment for children to become mature, compassionate and assured young people.

BMS buzzes with energy and our students consistently achieve outstanding grades at A Level and GCSE thanks to an engaging and challenging academic curriculum. This is complemented by extensive sporting, music and drama programmes. Students also participate in a range of activities outside of the classroom offering unique opportunities to enrich their understanding and appreciation of the world around them.

The happy, supportive and inclusive atmosphere allows students to realise their full potential and leave school as self-aware, resilient and emotionally intelligent individuals.

Our History

SIR WILLIAM HARPUR’S VISION

The Harpur Trust was founded over 450 years ago by Sir William Harpur, a local man born to humble beginnings who made his fortune as a merchant tailor and became Lord Mayor of London in 1561.

Today our activities are still inspired by Sir William Harpur’s vision. He understood the value of education, and he saw what needed to be addressed to support the people in his hometown of Bedford.
