- An English public school, run by Halifax Regional Centre for Education.
Why Bedford South has no standing
Placing Bedford South would take results by school, and the province reports its assessments by regional centre, and that series stops in 2019–20.
That also leaves Bedford without a School Grade.
Getting a place at Bedford South
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
