Bedford School



In their own words

A very warm welcome to Bedford School Admissions. Our role is to support you on your admissions journey and give you an insight into Bedford and the people who shape it.


Years of experience at Bedford have taught me that for our admissions approach to be effective, it must be about partnership and trust. We want what is right for your son, and we work closely and honestly with families, feeder schools and international agents.

If you have any questions along your admissions journey, please do not hesitate to contact either me or one of the very experienced members of our team.





The admissions process uses the online ISEB Common Pre Test (sometimes referred to as the Common Entrance Exam). This exam has a specific format and structure, includes a range of predictable questions types and is taken in an online/computer environment. Students should pay particular attention to the Non-Verbal and Verbal-Reasoning modules, as these sections may include question types they have never encountered before.


We have partnered with the test experts at Ready Steady Pass, to bring you the most accurate and best value ISEB practise material. These exams are audited by AQA and EdExcel exam markers, and ISI independent school inspectors. Tests are taken online, include unlimited resits and emailed results including answer sheets to share with tutors and parents.


Each individual exam contains a full ISEB Common Pre Test experience, covering Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Buy the Bundle or Complete Collection to get the best value for money.
