End of Latest News


The world of education has changed significantly over the last decade or so.  That might mean that you feel a little out of touch when it comes to finding the right school for your child. You may have questions or concerns about the application process for school places, what to do if your first choice of school is declined or you may simply want to know what transport is available to help get your children safely to school and back every day. 

There’s a host of information about Central Bedfordshire’s schools here on our website.  Plus, as Bedford Borough Council will be dealing with school admissions during the final stages of the Bedfordshire councils merger, you’ll also find links to their website where necessary.
