Wixams Academy opened in September 2017 to 120 Year 7 students.  

Wixams is one of the most rapidly growing developments in the southern region, straddling the boundary of Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough, and is characterised by beautiful open countryside, lakes, and an aspirational and vibrant close-knit community.  Sitting just south of Bedford it has grown to 1,400 homes, with 4,000 more planned for the development.

At capacity, Wixams Academy will be a Year 7-13 secondary school and sixth form, for 825 students. The Academy will grow steadily with at least one new year group starting per year. The new Academy building is now fully open and operational, affording us excellent state-of-the-art facilities throughout.

We work closely with local primary schools including Lakeview, Wilstead and the new Wixams Tree Primary.  Our collective aim is to create an outstanding educational offer for local families.
