BMS has its origins in the Bedford Charity, born from the endowments left by Sir William Harpur in the sixteenth century. Originally it was known as ‘the Writing School’, teaching copper plate handwriting in what is now the old Town Hall in St. Paul’s Square, Bedford. In 1834 it moved to prestigious mock Tudor Gothic premises, designed by Edward Blore in Harpur Square, the frontage of which is now part of the Harpur (shopping) Centre. The site became increasingly cramped, and in 1974 BMS moved again to its purpose-built premises on Manton Lane.

The School has had four names – the Writing School, the English School, the Commercial School and finally Bedford Modern School, the last change being made in 1873 to reflect the School’s modern curriculum, providing an education for the professions. Until the Second World War BMS provided education not only for the locality but also for many colonial and military personnel seeking good education for their young families. Since then BMS has grown considerably, becoming an independent school in 1976 and a coeducational day school in 2022, continuing to provide an education which is modern, rigorous and relevant.

[] The School System
Within the school, there is a Head Girl, Head Boy, Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy, with 6 Senior Monitors, one for each year group, (Junior School, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). The 10 Senior Monitors have a red trim fitted to their blazer or jacket along with a Monitors tie to differentiate them from the rest of the sixth form.:

[] The School Houses
Following a tradition of over a hundred years the Senior School Houses of BMS were; North, South, East, West, County and United Boarders. This last was comprised of the combined boarding houses: Culver, Shakespeare, and School House. The day boy houses often, though not always, reflected the parts of the town or county from which the boys hailed and were mentioned in the school song.

The current house system has been running for under 15 years. The houses and their house colours are:

Bell – Purple
Tilden – Green
Farrar – Light Blue
Oatley – Dark Blue
Rose – Gold
Mobbs – White

Each house has its own tie which consists of stripes of the three school colours and their own house colour. Inter-house sports cover all major and minor sports run by the school, at both junior and senior level, and range from rugby and hockey (major sports) to shooting and fencing (minor sports). There are also non-sporting events such as quizzes and music and drama competitions.

Each house is led by a Head of House (a member of staff), and a House Captain, two Monitorial Deputies and a Co-opted Deputy (Upper Sixth Formers).

The Junior School house system operates on similar principles, with 4 houses: Taylor, Kaye, Poole and Liddle.
