Today the BMS Jazz Quintet were delighted to play at the 30th anniversary celebrations for @Bedford_Hospice, a charity which provides vital care and support to so many. The ensemble performed a range of Jazz standards from ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ to ‘Misty’. #HappyAnniversary #jazz – at Bedford, England

What a day for our Year 8 students to visit the seaside! They have spent the day on a Geography trip busily investigating erosion and coastal protection along the North Norfolk coastline in Hunstanton. #schooltrip #thegreatoutdoors #sunshine #geography

We’ve received some fantastic photos featuring the activities our Year 7 students are taking part in at @willenlake. Here they are developing their #teambuilding skills out on the water and scaling the challenging heights of #TreetopExtreme.

Happy #WomenInSport week! This annual BMS event aims to raise the profile of sport with our Junior School girls. They have had fun trying new activities and playing cricket alongside their female relatives. It has been great to see their growing confidence and determination.

As part of the Community Service Programme, Year 12 students Lexi and Prem have been visiting residents at a retirement community. Lexi picked flowers from her garden and the residents arranged them to be pressed. The result is stunning, and today Lexi will gift this to them.

On Saturday 07 May, two BMS rowing crews comprised of six talented young sportswomen won their respective events at the 156th annual Bedford Regatta. Read more: bit.ly/3MpdCRB.

This afternoon a group of Year 7 and 8 students took part in another of our lunchtime concerts, performing a selection of contemporary pieces. This was a great chance for our younger musicians who missed out on Open Mic Night to gain experience in front of an audience.

Our Forest School concluded this weekend with the final session focusing on a scavenger hunt and natural paint making. Over the six-week course students have worked on den building, fire making and problem solving, as well as a whole host of arts and crafts activities.

At BMS, the Service of Remembrance has always been an important part of the school calendar. This year our students observed the two-minute silence in their form groups and this clip of our Sixth Form choir formed part of a video assembly for Senior School students. #lestweforget

This afternoon we welcomed harpist Elizabeth Bass who delivered a workshop to our musicians. She discussed how to choose repertoire for a concert, maintaining interest when practising and dealing with performance anxiety, before finishing the session with a performance.

Our programme of sporting activities for girls in the Junior School concluded this morning with an All Stars Cricket tournament. They all really enjoyed putting the skills they learned earlier in the week into practice and the weather couldn’t have been better. #womeninsport
