About Pix Brook Academy

Pix Brook Academy’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2024, paints a picture of a school that is outperforming the typical Central Bedfordshire secondary in several key areas. While the local authority average Progress 8 score sits at -0.46, Pix Brook’s own headline metrics are not provided in the data, so a direct numerical comparison isn’t possible. However, the inspection grades offer a strong proxy: the school earned an Outstanding rating for both Behaviour and Attitudes and Leadership and Management, and a Good for overall effectiveness, Quality of Education, and Personal Development. This is notable in a local authority where only one of 27 secondary schools holds an Outstanding overall rating. The school’s capacity is 1,260, but it currently has 865 pupils, meaning it is operating below its full roll, which could suggest it is not yet oversubscribed or is still growing into its buildings.
