Badley Day 2026 - Run, Swim, Cycle

From high energy challenges on land to a demanding long distance test in the water, students will push themselves beyond their comfort zones to raise funds that open the door to life-changing opportunities for young people.

Through fully funded bursaries, the John Badley Foundation transforms the lives of children joining Bedales School. The JBF has funded places for 40 children to date, giving them a chance to thrive in a unique educational environment.

Story

Badley Day, our annual community day on Wednesday 23 September, brings students and staff together in a whole school celebration of John Badley's vision and the school motto, 'Work of Each for Weal of All'. This simple phrase emphasises the idea that by working together - contributing individually, as well as collaboratively - everyone can support the wellbeing of the whole community.

During the afternoon, students will take part in a series of exciting challenge activities as part of a fundraising event. Friends and family are invited to sponsor their efforts, with all money raised supporting the John Badley Foundation's 100% bursary programme, strengthening our diverse and inclusive community.

Students taking part in our sponsored 'Run, Swim, Cycle' challenge will run and cycle as many laps as they can of a set route in the school grounds, in addition to as many lengths of the swimming pool as possible - all against the clock!

If you have any questions about the charity or would like to make a private donation, please contact Tanya and Sarah in the Bedales Development Team at development@bedales.org.uk.

Thank you for supporting our whole school effort.
