The Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across our community of 11 schools and five nurseries. Since forming in 2016, we have grown significantly into one of the largest trusts in the county. We now educate 8,000 children across the area, from nursery age to advanced level study and have over 1,000 members of staff.

It is our aim to grow the BEST in everyone, and everything we do is driven by our values, but our aims can only be achieved if we recruit, retain and develop the highest quality workforce – and we want those we employ to be valued in the workplace. The formative years of BEST has been a real success story – and we are looking forward to an exciting future, too.

We opened as a new free school in September 2019 and are currently an extended secondary school. This September the academy will be full and delivering an exceptional provision to pupils from Year 5 to Year 11. At our core is the moral purpose to educate the socially responsible citizens of the future.

Working at Pix Brook Academy is an unprecedented opportunity to be involved in a genuinely exciting and innovative growth programme and have real influence and input into shaping the future development and success of this creative and rural community school. In the school’s OFSTED inspection in January 2024 inspectors judged the overall effectiveness of the school to be good with outstanding judgements for Behaviour and Attitudes and Leadership and Management.

If you have the enthusiasm and passion we are seeking, then please do get in touch - we look forward to welcoming you to our school.
