Bedstone College, a fully co-educational boarding school with approximately 220 pupils, nestling in the glorious uplands of South Shropshire some 12 miles west of Ludlow on the Herefordshire and Welsh borders. Covering the full age range of 7-19, the College prides itself on its family atmosphere. This atmosphere is encouraged further by the policy of accepting brothers and sisters of differing academic ability. This is particularly helpful for expatriate families, Service and diplomatic families (for whom there are discretionary awards) and those who regularly have to move as a result of their profession.
The Sixth Form is fifty strong and 17 subjects are offered at 'A' level. Most sixth formers pursue 3 'A' levels in addition to General Studies. The College boasts a 90% pass rate at 'A' level with 82% going on to university or polytechnics.
Much new building has taken place in recent years including new boarding houses and classroom blocks.
The College enjoys a fine reputation for academic, sporting, musical and dramatic excellence. The Chapel Choir recently made a professional recording and the sports teams regularly achieve county, midland and national success.
Beyond the classroom over 24 clubs and societies exist in addition to a full range of games and involvement in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
This is a thriving, happy and successful boarding school.
