[edit] Overview
For over half a century Bedstone College has prepared young people to enter the outside world with well-developed personal skills, self-confidence and the finest academic qualifications within their scope. Bedstone was one of the first independent schools to become fully co-educational and the warm family atmosphere that successful co-education creates within a smaller school is immediately obvious to any visitor.
Bedstone is consistently one of the top Independent Schools in the county in the GCSE and A level league tables.
Set in the beautiful uplands of South Shropshire, bordering Herefordshire and Powys, the college is far from the distracting influences of urban life and yet it is within easy reach of all major cities and airports.
The college enjoys not only a stunning setting but also a beautiful main building, Bedstone Court. Built at the end of the nineteenth century it is one of the very few calendar houses in Britain. It is now home to the middle and junior college boys and, on the ground floor, the library, reading room, dining facilities and administration areas are housed. The majority of the campus has been purpose built within the last twenty years and the mixture of old and new provides a rich and stimulating environment.
Today the college caters for young people between the ages of three and eighteen years in the pre-preparatory, preparatory, and senior schools.
At Bedstone there is a firm belief that each child has the ability to excel in at least one sphere of college life and that it is the responsibility of the college to find and nurture that area of excellence. A well-qualified and highly motivated staff, a hard working student body, and a friendly, family atmosphere make Bedstone College a happy, dynamic and successful school.

Doodle for Google|17/10/2006|Back in the Summer Term several students of varying ages produced "doodles" based upon the 'Google' logo, on the theme of "My Britain". These were entered in to a national competition being run by 'Google'. They were amongst 15000 entries nationwide. This is a competition with several stages and we were delighted to hear, early in the Autumn term, that Tom Sherborn-Hoare had made it through to the last 300, and would represent the Midlands as the entry was narrowed down to the top 30. He has received a 'goodie bag' of art materials, a lavish art book and some 'Google' merchandise.
