In 2012, Bedford High School merged with Dame Alice Harpur School to become Bedford Girls' School, which also resulted in the Bedford High School Boat Club and Dame Harpur Alice School Boat Club merging and becoming the Bedford Girls' School Rowing Club. The boathouse is a three sectioned shared building with Bedford School Boat Club and Bedford Modern School Boat Club.
