I too was at Bedford from 1966 to 1969 in the same year as Sue Potter.
I taught PE for 2 years as an assistant PE teacher and thereafter as Head of Department in a large comprehensive school and then later as Head of Department in a smaller local independent school. After I married I had a break when my three children were born and while they were small. Teaching both PE and also latterly PE, English, drama and Mathematics. I’m now retired with small Grandchildren. I have always been sad that I was not awarded a degree. I worked very hard and just wanted to get into the world and teach. I agree the course was extremely rigorous (I remember going to Cambridge University for biology lectures) and this fed into a life long love of learning, working hard and preparing well and teaching well
I would love to know how I can obtain an honorary degree.
Thank you

I believe I may be one of the former students who may be eligible for honorary degree status. I was a student at B.C.P.E from 1974-1977. My name was Mara Cadman.
Would you advise me further as to how I might proceed with this query? I consider the academic rigour we were exposed to certainly validates an honorary degree award.
My thanks,
Mara Cadman-Davies
