Welcome to Bedford College

We are delighted that you are thinking of studying with us. The transition to A-Levels is exciting (and occasionally daunting) and we aim to do all we can to support you on this significant step. This means that, as well as our extensive range of A-Levels on offer, we have a wide range of academic and pastoral support.

Each of our subjects is taught by highly qualified specialists, who will help you to develop your understanding and skills. Our tutorial, enhancement and personal development programmes will aid your progression to higher levels of study. Our support and advice specialists will help you to prepare for this. Additionally, our team will help to develop your employability and wider skills.

A key part of being at sixth form will be making friends, enjoying a range of social activities, and having lots of enrichment opportunities. You will be able to do all of this in our iconic and high-class facilities.

We look forward to working with you to help you to fulfil your future ambitions.

Best wishes,

Robin Webber-Jones
Principal

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
At The Bedford Sixth Form, enhancement is a core part of all programmes for all students. Every week you will have one session built into your timetable for enhancement. There are a wide range of activities on offer which aim to be fun, challenging and also strengthen your CV or university application. A wide variety of activities will be on offer and you will be asked to select 1 activity for each of the 3 terms in each year of study. This means a typical student can participate in up to 6 different activities across a typical 2 year programme. You might pick an activity because it’s already of interest to you and you want to learn more, to add variety to your studies or to try something completely new! We will be asking new students to pick their enhancement options on our Welcome Day and during inductions. You should have at least 3 choices and some reserves as places are limited. Here are a list of options for you to consider

Duke of Edinburgh

Netball
