Polam School is an independent pre-preparatory and nursery school, situated in the Harpur area of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England.

History

Polam school was founded in 1923 and moved to Lansdowne Road, Bedford in the 1950s. The school was subsequently sold to Cognita in the 2000s. Another Bedford pre-prep Acorn School (founded in 1985)became part of the Cognita Group and merged into Polam School in April 2009. For a brief period the school became known as Polam Oaks, before going back to its roots and returning to Polam School in March 2012.

The school today

Polam School is owned and operated by Cognita. It is a top independent primary school in Bedford for boys and girls aged 12 months to 9 years. At this Bedford school, children get the perfect start in life in exceptionally small class sizes within a home from home setting.

The children benefit from inspired specialist teaching in small groups with a broad-based curriculum which introduces subjects such as Music, French, Spanish, Drama, swimming and PE to children as young as three years old.

With one of the top nurseries in Bedford, offering all the facilities of an independent prep school, along with highly trained specialist nursery nurses, our early years childcare provision is virtually unmatched, providing children with a safe, secure and homely environment in which to flourish.

Based in two recently refurbished Victorian houses, this Bedford primary school has a home from home feel, and yet benefits from excellent facilities which include a superb large indoor gym and one of the best swimming pools in Bedford for children to learn in.
