Your child’s nutrition.
We recognise the importance of nutrition in fuelling young minds and physical activity. We source supplies locally and sustainably, designing our seasonal menus to provide the right balance of protein, fibre and vitamins to sustain the energy and maintain the focus of our pupils during their studies.
Our kitchen team understand the dietary requirements of our pupils and can provide Vegan and Vegetarian menu options that are tasty and nutritious.

Uniform is an important part of our school culture and embodies our brand of traditional and modern values.
Our uniform, introduced in September 2022, incorporates tailored blazers through to active sportswear, and has been designed to provide a unique identity for our school and instil a sense of pride, as well as providing comfort for the pupils.

Wellbeing
At Bedford Greenacre School wellbeing is a crucial part of school life. It is our priority to ensure that pupils are happy, healthy and well cared for during their time with us. Our small classes allow us to provide individual attention to each of our pupils to ensure they are coping with the challenges that life can bring. Our Form Tutors are supportive and are pleased to communicate with families about ways we can assist their child. Our leadership team value the importance of a hands-on approach and enjoy being involved in the everyday routines of school life. This means that our leadership have a good relationship with the pupils and this helps to provide a high level of mutual respect. We are quick to respond to the needs of our pupils and communicate effectively with their families.
