BEDFORD ALUMNI: Courtney.
What a fantastic experience one of our past Bedford students has had travelling to Africa with her College.
Courtney's story....
I arrived in Arusha, Tanzania two weeks ago, and what an unforgettable, emotional journey it has been so far. I’ve spent my time volunteering across the community: we’ve helped decorate and build a new safe space for children in need of protection, and supported learning at the most joyful SEND centre, where the children’s spirit is truly inspiring. I’ve also seen first-hand how differently people learn here compared to the UK—from the orphanage where I’ve helped children build new skills, to the women’s centre, where we’ve joined classes and learned about the on-site daycare that supports young mothers as young as 17 with 4 year olds. I’ve heard heartbreaking stories that have struck incredibly close to home, while also getting to encourage local small businesses and explore the vibrant streets of Arusha. It’s been a rollercoaster of feelings, but every moment has been humbling, eye-opening, and something I’ll carry with me always.
At Bedford we are really proud of Courtney! If any of our other past students would like to share their experiences since leaving Bedford- please get in touch with Mrs Duffy at School. ... See MoreSee Less

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS): The 2026 water safety campaign launched on Thursday 21 May. This year, the water safety campaign’s key messages are:
202 people accidentally drowned in the UK in 2025. Don’t become a statistic. Stay safe around water.
Jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock kills and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface.
If you encourage your mates to go in the water it could be the last time you see them.
If you get into difficulty in the water, float to live.
Someone in trouble in the water? Remember Phone, Float, Throw - it could save their life. Phone 999 to get help (ask for fire if inland or the coastguard if by the sea). Tell them to stay calm and float on their back. Throw rescue equipment to help them float until emergency services arrive.

Careers Competition: A massive well done to four of our Year 8 students who competed at The National Careers Challenge in Telford yesterday. Grace, Rosalee, Olivia and Ava competed against over 50,000 other students: we could not be more proud of their achievements. The girls have shown resilience and worked really hard on their presentation- using their own time to practise and create their resources. Thank you to their families for attending the competition with the girls! What a fantastic experience for the students and watch out for these future leaders! ... See MoreSee Less

Last week we had the pleasure of celebrating our incredible Year 11 students at prom, and what a fantastic evening it was! ✨
As these Bedford Arts students reach the end of their journey with us and prepare for their next adventures, we want them to know how proud we are of everything they have achieved. Watching them grow in confidence, creativity, and character over the last 5 years has been a privilege, we will miss each and every one of them so much, but we are excited to see what the future holds. Whatever path they choose, we know they will go on to achieve amazing things.
Whether you joined a club, performed on stage, showcased your talents as a dancer, musician, actor or artist, studied one of our subjects at GCSE, or simply shared in our creative journey, you will always be a part of the Bedford Arts family. ❤️
Good luck, Year 11 – keep dreaming big, working hard, and believing in yourselves. We can't wait to hear about all your future successes!
