Due to our continued growth, we are now seeking to appoint an exceptional Deputy Headteacher to join our school and to work within our dedicated and enthusiastic team.

Wixams is one of the most rapidly growing developments in the southern region, straddling the boundary of Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough, and is characterised by beautiful open countryside, lakes, and an aspirational and vibrant close-knit community. Sitting just south of Bedford it has grown rapidly over the last 10 years.

At full capacity by 2030, Wixams Academy will be a Year 7-13 secondary school and sixth form, for 1750 students. We currently have pupils from Year 7-13 and we are adding forms of entry each year to meet local demand. The Academy building provides the community with excellent state-of-the-art facilities throughout with significant extensions and additional sports facilities which opened in September 2024.

We work closely with local primary schools including Lakeview, Wilstead and Wixams

Tree Primary. Our collective aim is to create an outstanding educational offer for local

families.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment and safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS clearance check, Prohibition from Teaching Checks and a Section 128 Direction Check (if applicable). KST is committed to the safeguarding of the children and young people in our care and actively promotes their welfare. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. KST is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from minority groups.
