Schools and Colleges
Bedford Borough Council operates a three tier system of
education. Children normally begin their primary education at a
lower school which serves the area where they live i.e. the school
serving the local catchment area. Children are normally admitted to
lower school at the start of or during the Reception year, that is
the school year in which they become 5. Many schools also have
nursery units or nursery classes for younger children.
