I would really like to know how bfs really is becus im going into uear 10 mid way and feel like im not gonna make new frienda due to people already having their friend groups but anyone who has been there can you tell me how the students are there ?

Really bad you can’t talk in the corridor an you get detention easily

the school is racist atheist excluded a student for wearing her hijab i and classified it for being “unprofessional” and also expelled a young black man for having his hair “too short”

Bedford Free School was a nightmare…I stayed there for two and a half year and it was horrible.I was new and scared.At first it was good but then once you settling in the staff members started showing their true colours.They were a different type of strict they fight be down everytime because I was the type of kid to have fun when they treat the kids like they are in prison.They didn’t like how I was behaving so they try there very best to bring me down and they did.Because I was new in the UK and needed help but didn’t receive it.If you want your child to be happy and stable after high school DONT BRING THEM TO BEDFORD FREE SCHOOL

Almost everyone who has left this school suffers from severe mental health and struggle in social settings, comparing to other people their age. Little priority is placed on communication and social development, such as no talking when passing to your next class and keeping silent even when you are in class, otherwise you will receive a detention. The teachers can be incredibly nasty and know they will get away with it due to the ‘staff are always right’ rule. If they don’t like your child, believe me they will let it be known and get other teachers involved in making your child feel miserable about themselves. To make matters worse, teachers are very harsh on students over silly things, such as getting punished for asking someone for a tissue because of the no talking rule. I remember someone even getting a detention for saying bless you when someone sneezed once because of this terrible rule. This school only provides opportunities to people whose parents are in close contact with the higher up staff but everyone else is ignored. Everything is a front at this school, one image towards visitors and prospective student but another one to the actual pupils and their parents.

they don’t take bullying seriously, unless a a student says something moderately rude to a teacher.
