India opening for Bedford School

Bedford School Mohali has opened its doors – the first British International girls’ school in the region

Bedford School Mohali, the first British International girls’ school in Northern India, opened in April. Located on the outskirts of Chandigarh and developed in partnership with Doon International Education Society, it offers day and boarding options. The campus has extensive science, sports and creative arts facilities, including STEAM labs and a 1,000-seater auditorium.

“The opening of Bedford School Mohali is a moment of immense pride for our whole community. We are thrilled to see our ethos and values come to life in India, in a school dedicated to the education and empowerment of young women. Guided by our core values of endeavour, curiosity, responsibility and integrity all underpinned by kindness, Bedford School Mohali will nurture girls who are ready to make a meaningful impact in the world,” says Bedford School Head Master James Hodgson.

The school is led by its Founding Principal, Naomi Atkins, an experienced international educator with a track record of establishing and leading outstanding schools globally. “It is an honour to welcome our first pupils to Bedford School Mohali,” she says. “From the very beginning, our vision has been to create a vibrant, inclusive and aspirational community where every girl is supported to thrive academically and personally.”
