The combination of Outstanding Ofsted Bedford
College and internationally renowned Shuttleworth College is
helping to put Central Bedfordshire on the world stage.
- Since Shuttleworth became part of Bedford

business expertise has seen the organisation go from strength to
strength - for the benefit of local people and local
businesses.
- Shuttleworth College has become part of the
Outstanding Ofsted team and has more students than ever before from
the local, national and international community
- The Mansion House is now a profit centre for
Old Warden Park and offers training and work experience
opportunities for a range of young people - weddings, conferences,
outdoor events and musical festivals are all staged in the house
and grounds
Bedford College is a draw for people of all
ages from throughout the old Mid Beds area and as far as Dunstable
who want to take up education and training at the Outstanding
Ofsted organisation and its outlets in Bedford, Luton and
Kempston.
Last year alone: 5,500
people with Central Beds postcodes studied at Bedford
College/Shuttleworth College either as sixth formers or
apprentices, professionals or for fun.
Bedford College has close links with senior
schools in Central Beds such as those in Ampthill, Biggleswade and
