Wixams Academy is a comprehensive Academy serving circa (in September 2023) 950 pupils including 120 pupils in the Sixth Form.

The Academy has been popular and oversubscribed since opening and we have low staff turnover. The Academy is located one mile south of Bedford town centre and has a mixed community, with broadly national composition. We have recently merged Knowledge Schools Trust (KST) to create a local hub to drive further growth in the region.

KST is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from minority groups.

We reserve the right to interview on receipt of applicants, and therefore some candidates may be contacted for interview prior to the closing date of this advertisement. 

Wixams Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults, and expects all staff and volunteers to understand and share this commitment.
