22 PIX BROOK ACADEMY Celebrating Milestones and a Bright Future Ahead As BEST celebrates its tenth anniversary, we reflect with immense pride on the remarkable growth of Pix Brook Academy. Just seven years ago, our academy was a small acorn, planted with a clear purpose: to educate socially responsible citizens of the future. The roots laid down were crucial and pathed the way for a commitment to nurturing every student. I am honoured as the new Principal to work tirelessly on developing Pix Brook so we can stand proud, like the Oak tree within our academy logo. Like BEST, we too are celebrating a significant, historic moment: having a cohort in all year groups, from 5 to 11, for the very first time. My focus is on sustaining our growth and ensuring the successful delivery of our first set of GCSE examinations in the Summer of 2026. Arlesey & Stotfold Year 5 - 11 Ofsted – Good (2024) pixbrookacademy.co.uk The future for Pix Brook Academy is incredibly exciting. We are no longer a young school, but a maturing academy ready to demonstrate the full extent of our students’ talents. Our values have been woven into the fabric of the school and our new tagline: “Owning our Actions, shaping our Future” supports students to reflect on their choices. The new School Parliament and elected Heads of School marks an important moment for student leadership as we collectively strive to ensure our school is somewhere every young person can flourish. 23 ROBERT BLOOMFIELD ACADEMY Outstanding Ofsted Rating Achieved for Fourth Time Robert Bloomfield continues to go from strength to strength, and that was never more apparent than in the last academic year, when we were once again rated Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted. Remarkably, this was the fourth successive time since 2008 that Ofsted inspectors have awarded us the top judgement. The report, which followed a two-day inspection in February, described how high aspirations underpin the school’s values and its determination for all pupils to become the best they can be. Inspectors noted how positive relationships support the success of students, who thrive in the “welcoming and exceptionally inclusive middle school environment.” The report also highlighted: • how the Robert Bloomfield school spirit shines through in students’ kindness and respect towards others; Shefford Year 5 - 8 Ofsted – Outstanding (2025) robertbloomfield.beds.sch.uk • that the carefully designed curriculum extends beyond national expectations; and • the excellent provision for children’s personal development. While we are so muchmore than an Ofsted judgement, it was gratifying that the hard work of our exceptionally dedicated staff was recognised. Their care for the students, combined with our lived VOICE values – Vitality, Opportunity, Independence, Community and Excellence – has created a wonderful environment in which all students flourish. As we celebrate this continued success, we look confidently to the future and what the next 20 years hold.
