What the school says

Bedford Modern School (BMS) is a unique, co-educational independent day school for students aged 7-18. Our values guide all we do and through them we maintain and develop our inclusive culture, our sense of community and our defining characteristic: unpretentious excellence. Students are inspired to develop a love of learning through a broad range of academic opportunities and a co-curricular programme which challenges them to be the best version of themselves, focusing on participation, enjoyment and achievement. We also nurture students to become self-aware and resilient, able to face the challenges of today’s rapidly changing world with confidence.

What is this?

Facilitating A levels are ones that are commonly needed for entry to leading universities. They are: biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, further mathematics, geography, history, English literature and classical or modern languages. The % of pupils achieving AAB or higher may therefore decrease if many pupils have opted not to take two or more of the facilitating subjects mentioned.
