History

Rushmoor School was founded in the early 1910s and was originally a privately-run school based in London. It educated children of the ages of 8-13. In 1918, the school moved from London to the current site in Bedford. In 1965, the owner announced her retirement and the closure of the school, however, a group of parents and friends persuaded her to allow them to take over the running of the school and thus, the school became Rushmoor School Ltd., a charitable trust administered by a board of governors. Since that time, the school has expanded considerably; it has become partially co-educational and now accepts children of the ages of 3-16. Several new buildings have also been constructed including a gymnasium, science laboratories, a library and numerous classrooms.
