The Green Bedales Committee of staff and students has been looking at the broad range of issues within the school for the past six months and have already begun creating awareness and initiating improvements. :-)

Any ideas, suggestions and comments from parents are most welcome as the community would like to support the Green Committee as much as possible in their determined efforts. Please contact Martin Box or Mark Taylor

New BPA Representative for long distance parents

Peter Whaley (Block 4 parent - September 07) has kindly agreed to join the BPA committee to represent the ideas, questions and concerns of those parents who live further away from the school. This will obviously include parents who live overseas, but also parents who simply live far from the school in the UK. Historically the BPA has had a representative for this particular parent group but the post has been empty for some years now. We are terribly delighted that Peter has agreed to help with this. :-)

If you are a parent who lives far from the school and would like to be part of Peter's email communication list please contact him directly by clicking here
