The Upper School at Bedford School Mohali, welcomes girls aged 11 to 15, across Years 7 to 11.

From April 2026, entry will open to Years 7 to 9, with Year 10 from April 2027.

The curriculum builds on the Prep School foundation and follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum that begins preparing girls for the Cambridge IGCSE programme in Year 10.  French is introduced in Year 7 as a modern foreign language and Drama becomes a standalone subject rather than incorporated in English.
