Pix Brook Academy is part of the BEST Multi Academy trust. The core values of the multi-academy trust contribute to our overarching mission, vision and values of the school.

Welcome to Pix Brook Academy, a co-educational extended secondary school that prides itself on fostering a vibrant and aspirational learning community. Whether you're a prospective student, a parent exploring options, or a potential new member of our dedicated staff, we hope this website offers you a clear insight into what makes Pix Brook Academy a truly special place.

It's an immense privilege to lead Pix Brook Academy. Our mission is clear: to educate the socially responsible citizens of the future by being relentlessly aspirational in all aspects of school life. This core mission, coupled with our five Pix Brook values – Positive, Prepared, Polite, Proud, and Perseverant – underpins every decision and action within our academy. These values, alongside our powerful tagline, Owning Our Actions, Shaping Our Future, permeate all our policies and practices.

At the heart of everything we do is a profound moral purpose. We aim to ensure that every member of the Pix Brook Academy family continually focuses on improving and enhancing their life chances. We empower our students to understand that their choices in behaviour and learning are fundamental to their future successes. Working hand-in-hand with our community, we strive to maximise the prospects of young people through a programme of personal development that includes comprehensive careers education and work experiences that will lead to successful next steps.  

We believe in providing an education that is not only academically rigorous but also broad and stimulating, preparing our students for the demands of further study or the world of work. Our dedicated staff are committed to delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning, nurturing enquiring minds, and inspiring every student to pursue their dreams with limitless possibilities. We genuinely want our pupils to attend university or undertake a degree level apprenticeship and we equip them with the knowledge and skills to be able to do so, while making a difference in our communities.

Beyond academic excellence, we are passionately committed to the development of each student's unique character, personality, and life skills. We want our students to be conscious of their responsibilities to others and to leave us with the essential academic and personal skills needed to achieve their goals in society. We place a strong emphasis on outstanding behaviour, as we know that excellent learning is built upon a foundation of respect and a strong sense of community.

Pix Brook Academy is a place where staff are proud to work, parents are keen to send their children, and students feel a strong sense of belonging. The partnership we forge with our parental community is paramount; working together ensures our students thrive, achieve, and truly enjoy their journey as part of our wider family.

We hope our website gives you a comprehensive introduction to Pix Brook Academy. However, the best way to truly experience our unique environment is to visit us in person. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further enquiries or would like to arrange a visit to our school.
