About schools near Bedford

Here are the 60 nearest schools to Bedford, ordered by how far each one sits from the centre. The closest is Camestone School, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.

Ofsted inspects the schools on this page. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance.
