Bedford School is proud to be part of The Harpur Trust, a charitable foundation that has been enriching lives in the Borough of Bedford since 1566.
Inspired by the vision of its founder, Sir William Harpur, the Trust continues to make a lasting impact through:
- Promoting access to high-quality education
- Supporting individuals facing illness, hardship, or distress
- Providing recreational facilities that enhance social welfare
The Harpur Trust owns, manages, and supports four leading independent schools: Bedford School, Bedford Girls’ School, Bedford Modern School, and Pilgrims Pre-Preparatory School.
In addition, the Trust sponsors the HEART Academies Trust and collaborates with local state schools through a variety of educational initiatives and grant-making programmes.
