Events & newsletters for parents


During your son or daughter’s course of study at Bedford College we make sure that you are kept up-to-date with how they are doing, and what is going on in our community. We feel students perform better when their parents take an active role in their education, so the College publishes monthly newsletters and updates by email and organises a number of events throughout the year that you are invited to attend.


Student Progress Reports

Issued twice a year, at the end of November and at the end of March, the reports aim to keep you up-to-date with your son or daughter’s academic performance and progress.


Parents’ e-Newsletter & Events e-Update

There’s so much going on at Bedford College, and whilst our students experience it every day, what about parents? Our email updates are designed to keep you informed about the College and all of our latest news and events, so you can be a bigger part of your son or daughter’s life at Bedford College. Interested?

Parents’ Consultation Evenings

The best way to find out how your son or daughter is doing at Bedford College. You will have the opportunity to discuss their work, performance, and progress with tutors and teaching staff.


Parents’ Information Evenings

We hold events to provide information to parents on the College and wider education topics, for example with our Higher Education Information Evening for Parents & Guardians, which aims to demystify the process of applying to university.


Open Days

A great way to absorb information and get a feel of College life, we strongly encourage parents to attend Open Days with their son or daughter. There are students and teachers on hand to chat about everything from classes and course content, to getting the bus. In short, it’s the ideal way to discover what the College has to offer your son or daughter.
