Wixams Academy is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form located in Wixams in the English county of Bedfordshire.[3]
The school was constructed by Willmott Dixon[4] and opened in 2017.[5] It was opened by Bedford College Academies Trust which has subsequently merged with Knowledge Schools Trust[6] in March 2024. It serves the new town development of Wixams as well as Wilstead and other nearby villages.
Wixams Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.[7] The school was due to launch a sixth form in 2022, however in April 2019 it was announced that the school was no longer planning to offer this provision.[8] However the school then confirmed a sixth form would open as originally planned in September 2022.[9]
