The school is shaped in the form of 2 concentric squares on top of each other, with the lower floor containing the gymnasium, auditorium, offices, as well as the music department, shop classroom and general purpose classrooms. In the lower square's center, the library is located. The upper floor contains the science department, art department, computer labs and general purpose classrooms.
BRIT, the Bedford Road Invitational Tournament, is a basketball tournament held by the school every January. It is widely known and celebrated, and has had teams from as far away as Kanata, New York and Australia compete. Approximately 300 volunteers, mostly Bedford students and alumni, contribute to the success of the tournament every year. For many Bedford students, their involvement in the tournament is a major highlight of their high school experience.
Students at Bedford Road Collegiate traditionally sing the school song, which is adapted from the Notre Dame Victory March. "Red and white" refers to Bedford's school colours.
We'll stand and cheer for the old red and white
And we'll defend her with all our might
We're from Bedford and we're proud
To echo her praises long and loud
Though we may wander o'er land and sea (hey!)
Our old collegiate she'll always be
We'll fight, fight, fight, with all our might
For the spirit of Bedford Road
