Badley Day 2026 - Sand Quarry Dash

It's a race against the clock to get around the Sand Quarry on this challenging event which will test legs, fitness and endurance in support of transformational bursary opportunities.

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.

Taking part in the Sand Quarry Dash, participants can join their friends in doing as many laps as they can on this physically demanding undulating course, all while raising funds to create life-changing opportunities for young people.

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.
