Welcome

BEDFORD PREP SCHOOL

A very warm welcome to Bedford Prep School. Starting a new school is always a time of great excitement (with perhaps just a hint of trepidation!).

This booklet is designed to answer some of the questions you may have and provide you with an introduction to life here in the Prep School and how the school runs. Whilst I hope that it becomes a very useful guide for you, especially in the first few days and months of your son’s education at the school, it is even more important that you feel able to develop a personal interaction with your son’s Tutor. Please get in touch if there is anything you are not sure about, or that we haven’t covered.

The same principle applies throughout your son’s time with us. Good communication is essential, and we are always happy to have a conversation and help in any way we can. We look forward to seeing you throughout the year.

Finally, may I take this opportunity to wish you a highly enjoyable summer, and I hope that we can start to put the pandemic behind us. We have learned a great deal from the way we, as a community, have dealt with the crisis, and we hope that you feel the benefit of this as parents of new boys.

I look forward to welcoming you in person to the school in September.
