 Bedales School
Bedales was founded in 1893 by J H Badley as a liberal alternative to the rigid and authoritarian regimes prevalent in independent schools of the time.
Bedales still holds to Badley’s values, although the way in which they are pursued has changed over time (obligatory cold baths were dropped years ago).
Bedales is not explicitly religious, let alone denominational (the library is our closest equivalent to a chapel), but we devote a thoughtful programme of activity to spiritual, moral and ethical development.
