Inside Bedford School Mohali Open House: Highlights and Key Takeaways

On February 1, 2026, the first-ever Bedford School Mohali Open House was conducted, welcoming parents to explore the 14-acre Mohali campus and experience the school environment in person. 

The Open House featured leadership presentations, guided campus tours, interactive classroom activities, and detailed discussions on academic boarding and student wellbeing. 

The event gave the families an opportunity to observe how the school operates its educational environment and daily activities before they apply for admission.

The Open House was structured to give families a realistic view of how Bedford School Mohali operates. The day moved through an interactive presentation led by the Founding Principal, Ms Naomi Atkins, about academics, boarding life, pastoral care, and campus facilities in a step-by-step format. 

Find the key highlights in detail next. 

1. Leadership Presentation and School Overview

The leadership team, comprising our Founding Principal, Ms Naomi Atkins, together with senior academic and pastoral leaders, Ms Vineet Gill and Ms Sapinder Kaur, delivered the Open House presentation.

The team explained Bedford School Mohali’s foundation as the first British international boarding and day boarding school in India for girls, shaped by the 470+ year legacy of Bedford School UK. 

The presentation highlighted our core values:

• Kindness: building a respectful, inclusive culture where girls feel supported and valued.

• Endeavour: encouraging effort, resilience, and high standards in learning and personal growth.

• Curiosity: promoting enquiry-led learning, questioning, and intellectual confidence.

• Integrity: developing honesty, strong character, and principled decision-making.

• Responsibility: nurturing independence, accountability, and leadership in daily school life.

2. Academic Framework and Curriculum Pathways

Next on the presentation was an overview of our academic pathways with the Cambridge curriculum and how it builds strong subject knowledge, clear thinking, and confident communication in pupils. Parents received an explanation of the A-Level Education and IAL curriculum to help them understand the main areas of study, student options, and university readiness in senior high school. 

3. Learning in Practice: Classrooms and Activities

After the presentation, we engaged parents and children in fun, creative, interactive activities. We conducted activities in art and crafts, problem-solving, and STEAM learning programs that were based on teaching methods at Bedford School Mohali. 

A special Ballet session was conducted for ballet beginners to experience the performance arts classes at Bedford School. 

4. Campus Walkthrough and Facilities

The senior faculty members then guided parents on a tour of the campus. The parents visited the academic buildings, athletic fields, recreational areas, and shared student spaces. 

Bedford School Mohali has state-of-the-art facilities with the finest sports, science, technology, and arts infrastructure, matching the world’s best boarding schools. An 1100 seater Auditorium, Half-Olympic swimming pool, and over 20 sports facilities, including Squash, Basketball, Pickleball, Badminton, and Padel Courts. 

The guided campus tour revealed how the campus layout supports academic work and enables movement while creating spaces that promote student health throughout the day.

5. Boarding Life and Schooling Options

We are India’s first British International boarding and day boarding school for girls. Naturally, our Open House visitors expressed their strongest interest in our boarding facilities. We gave an overview of our boarding options, which included Day School, Flexi Boarding, and full Boarding School, to parents with varied preferences. 

6. Pastoral Care and Safeguarding Systems

Student well-being is our top priority, and we made it evidently clear during our parent interaction session at the Open House. Our pastoral care faculty members shared an overview of their mentoring practices and methods of ensuring the safeguarding of pupils. Parents were made aware of the importance of pastoral care and learned how our experienced pastoral care team identifies problems at an early stage and then follows procedures to handle those issues.  

For families who are considering a Boarding School for their daughter, this understanding of pastoral care and safety is essential.

7. Parent Interaction and Admissions Guidance

The parent interaction session was one of the most significant events of the day. It followed deep conversations regarding parents’ concerns about sending their daughter to a boarding school and us clarifying their doubts. All of the queries in the Q and A session were dealt with real pragmatic answers. Concluding the session, we provided information about our admissions procedures, year-group planning, and next steps.
