Bedales was founded in 1893 by John Haden Badley in reaction to the limitations of the conventional Victorian Public School. It has been coeducational since 1898 and it was the first coeducational independent boarding school in England. Its school emblem is a Tudor rose with a bee at the centre. The school motto is "Work of each for weal of all".

The school is also renowned for its liberal ethos and relaxed attitude, which has been the subject of intermittent controversy through much of its recent history.[citation needed] The school has established a reputation for high quality arts teaching and a dedication to drama, art and music. Bedales has an environmental award winning theatre which is also used by the local community. Bedales is one of the most expensive schools in the UK. These fees have risen in recent years due to building projects, which have included a new PE department and a new academic block. The current headmaster of Bedales is Keith Budge. History
The school was started by Badley and his wife in a rented house called Bedales, just outside Lindfield, near Haywards Heath in 1893. In 1899 Badley purchased a country estate near Steep and constructed a purpose built school including state of the art electric light, which opened in 1900. The site has been extensively developed over the past century, including the relocation of a number of historic vernacular timber frame barns. A preparatory school, Dunhurst, was started in 1902 on Montessori principles (and was visited in 1919 by Dr Montessori herself), and a nursey school, Dunnannie, was added in the 1950s.

Badley took a non-denominational approach to religion and the school has never had a chapel: its relatively secular teaching made it attractive in its early days to non-conformists, agnostics, Quakers, Unitarians and liberal Jews, who formed a significant element of its early intake. The school was also well known and popular in some Cambridge and Fabian intellectual circles with connections to the Wedgwoods, Darwins, Huxleys, and Trevelyans. Books such A quoit tient la superiorité des Anglo-Saxons? and L'Education nouvelle popularised the school on the Continent, leading to a cosmopolitan intake of Russian and other European children in the 1920s.

Bedales was originally a small and initimate school: the 1900 buildings were designed for 150 pupils. Under a necessary programme of expansion and modernisation in the 1960s and 1970s under the headmastership of Tim Slack, the senior school grew from 240 pupils in 1966 to 340, thereafter increasing to some 415 by 1990.
Curriculum and ethos The early curriculum was remarkable for its modernity, with strong coverage of English and modern languages, science and design, as well having a strong "Carrot and Sandal" aspect; gardening, crafts and nature walks and drama taking the place of sports in a conventional public school. Academic standards in the early years oscillated through many phases of experimental syllabus. In the first half of 20th century the progressive movement around Bedales attracted a community of artists, craftsmen and writers living in Steep. Edward Thomas - also killed in the First World war - and his wife moved to Steep in 1911. In the early 1920s Stanley Spencer made a number of drawings and paintings of activities at the schools while staying with Muirhead Bone at Steep.

Despite its coeducation and the "shocking" proximity of adolescent boys and girls in a boarding environment (albeit diligently segregated), a key element of the school's early success was its ability to engender a somewhat puritan and priggish attitude to physical sex and to discourage "silliness".
Co-education The school's particular emphasis on arts, crafts and drama can be seen as a direct and deliberate legacy of early co-education theory, as explained by one of the school's most influential masters, Geoffrey Crump, in his book Bedales Since the War (1936): - "It is not enough to preach self control to a girl of fifteen who is just beginning to realise her power over the other sex, or to a boy of seventeen who is seriously disturbed by a girl of his own age. They don't want to be self-controlled. But one of the most valuable things that psychology has taught us is the importance of sublimation, and here is our chance. Adolescence is a time when it is natural to be active, and it is also an awakening to the power of beauty, beauty of all kinds - in colour form, movement, sound and spiritual aspiration. The boy and girl see these first in their human counterparts, and if left to themselves will hardly look anywhere else. But it is now that they are ready for the beauty of poetry, music, painting, drawing, and above all the earth around them, and these they must be given without stint...The tendency of modern civilisation is to hurry on the awakening of sexual consciousness - a fact that is much to be deplored, and that makes the tasks of all schoolmasters and schoolmistresses far more difficult. Children now see erotic films and posters and read erotic books at an age when we had not thought about such things. They hear erotic dance-music, with its imbecile sentimental words, wherever they go. The attitude of a city-bred boy of fourteen to a city-bred girl of fourteen is quite different from what it was ten years ago."
With the more liberal society of the 1960s, the coeducational Liberal Arts ethos of the school became extremely fashionable, attracting many literary and arts parents, including Lawrence Durrell, Simon Raven, Robert Graves, Cecil Day Lewis, Ted Hughes, Edna O'Brien, John and Penelope Mortimer, Frederick Raphael, Joseph Losey, Peter Hall, Peter Brook, Laurence Olivier, Joan Plowright, Susan Hampshire, Jill Balcon, Mick Jagger, and Sandie Shaw, as well as minor British and European royalty.
