- Love the @bedsfreeschool analogy of climbing the mountain to success. I also love the fact we take whole cohorts of students to climb an actual mountain. Some of yr9 at the top of Snowdon today! Plus you never know who you’ll meet on the way #Freddie🏏!!! #yr7next
- Fantastic trip to @wadhamoxford with @bedsfreeschool yr11 students. Great session on life at Oxbridge and what you need to do to get there. Wouldn’t be surprised to see some of these students back in a few years time studying #🤞🏻#workhardbenice
- An absolutely incredible day @bedsfreeschool with author and first Englishman to play professional football in Brazil @sethburkett! Persuasive writing workshop, Football journey and how he became an author. Our students were so lucky to take part in all 1/2
- 92 presents wrapped by the @bedsfreeschool Christmas elves, otherwise known as the senior student leadership team. All ready to be delivered to families across @advschools and @LPSBedford tomorrow #Christmasspirit
- At @bedsfreeschool we want impactful and meaningful electives. A thread: Mr Normanton, our history teacher, is running an elective based around this person:
- Today @bedsfreeschool said goodbye to Mrs Monk who is leaving BFS to spend more time with her young family. A true BFS legend. Over a decade of inspiring girls in PE and an incredible colleague to work with. I’ll miss her greatly as will the students.
- What a superb @bedsfreeschool Iftar event. Organised by the best PE technician in the country, Mr Arman. 200 staff, students and volunteers packed into our hall. Great way to end the term.
