Our Drama Scholars enjoyed a fascinating workshop with award-winning BBC writer, actor and broadcaster Jeremy Front, exploring the art of vocal performance for radio. Drawing on his extensive experience in broadcasting, writing and voice work, Jeremy led an engaging session on the subtle differences between using the voice for stage, television and voiceover performances, helping pupils develop new techniques and a deeper understanding of the craft.

Drama Scholar, Daniel reflected, "It was fantastic to have the opportunity to learn from a professional voiceover artist. Learning the subtle differences between using the voice for the stage, TV and voiceover work was really interesting. I can't wait to play around with this."

A huge thank you to Jeremy for sharing his expertise and inspiring the next generation of performers. 🎭🎙️

📚🌍 Celebrating European Day of Languages! 🌍📚

Our Sixth Form linguists brought languages and cultures to life with a fantastic programme of activities to mark European Day of Languages. From cultural quizzes and cheese tasting to an Italian taster lesson, blind food challenges, and language guessing games, pupils from Fourth Form to Sixth Form embraced the opportunity to broaden their horizons and have some fun along the way.

The event took place alongside our non-uniform day, with boys also raising money for charity, making it a day of learning and giving back.

A huge thank you to our Sixth Form pupils for organising such an engaging and successful event. And for those wondering, Manchego was crowned the favourite cheese of the day! 🧀👏

Just two sessions into his role with our 1st XV, current England international and Northampton Saints captain and Old Bedfordian Fraser Dingwall is already making an impact. In this reel, Fraser and Will discuss leadership, learning from the highest level of the game and the qualities that help teams thrive both on and off the pitch.

From communication, respect and accountability to enjoying the journey and making the most of every opportunity, Fraser's insights are helping the boys develop not just as rugby players, but as young people.

"Most importantly, enjoy rugby. You can get very caught up in wanting it all to be perfect, but the most important thing is that you have fun." - Old Bedfordian, Fraser Dingwall (13-17)

Lower Sixth Former Ollie is making history at 16 years old after being named the youngest-ever captain of the Bedford Hockey Men’s 1st XI, a remarkable achievement for a player still at the start of his hockey journey.

Through hard work and a commitment to leading by example, Ollie has earned the respect of teammates, coaches and club officials alike. His appointment reflects not only his ability on the pitch, but also the character and leadership that he brings to the team.

How can we help our teenagers develop the qualities they will need to thrive in life beyond school? That was the thought-provoking question at the heart of the first Parent Partnership event of the year, as we welcomed educational researcher and parenting expert Dr Kathy Weston, founder of Tooled Up Education, to school.

Drawing on the latest research and her own experiences as a parent, Dr Weston shared practical, evidence-based strategies to help young people develop confidence, resilience and wellbeing, alongside plenty of warmth, humour and food for thought.

Our boarding community came together for a fantastic induction activity this week as pupils from all five boarding houses joined forces to learn the art of spray painting and create their own graffiti masterpieces.

Led by the brilliant Leon from , the session encouraged teamwork, creativity and new friendships, with boarders working side-by-side to develop their skills and bring their ideas to life. It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen bonds across the houses, celebrate individuality and have lots of fun along the way.

A huge thank you to Leon for an inspiring and memorable session! 🙌

🌟 We are featured in the Tatler Schools Guide 2027 🌟

We are delighted to be featured in the Tatler Schools Guide 2027, one of the most respected and influential publications in independent education. Schools are selected independently by Tatler's editorial team, and we are proud to be the only independent school in Bedfordshire included in this year's guide.

The review highlights an exciting period in our history, recognising the arrival of Head Master Michael Sloan and plans for our new Sixth Form Centre, alongside a culture that encourages pupils to embrace opportunity both inside and beyond the classroom.

Tatler also celebrates the breadth of opportunity, from entrepreneurship and leadership programmes to cybersecurity competitions, exceptional sporting provision and our unique planetarium and observatory. It also shines a spotlight on our community spirit, including pupils raising more than £45,000 for Movember.

Since the review was compiled, we have also announced a landmark new chapter, welcoming girls from September 2027, further strengthening our vision for a vibrant, inclusive and future-focused community.

Behind every great team is another great team. 🌱 We were proud to see our Grounds Team featured in the latest edition of Turf Matters, showcasing the incredible two-year transformation of our sports facilities, led by Head of Grounds George Mills and his team.

From installing over 1,000 metres of irrigation and a new borehole system to reconfiguring rugby and cricket facilities within a finite space, their creativity and expertise have helped create outstanding surfaces for our rugby players, cricketers and footballers to enjoy.

Often working behind the scenes, this multi-skilled team has played a huge part in making our sporting environment one of the very best around.
