Bedfordshire Schools Trust

The Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across a community of 10 schools and five nurseries. BEST academies strive to deliver great outcomes and offer extensive curricular and extra-curricular opportunities. We do this through a shared belief in high expectations, hard work and community-based provision. Our schools work together to add value and continually compete to improve. BEST comprises four lower schools (Campton, Gothic Mede, Gravenhurst and Lawnside); two primary schools (Langford Village and St Christophers); one middle school (Robert Bloomfield); two extended secondary schools (Etonbury and Pix Brook); and an upper school (Samuel Whitbread). Also part of the trust are nurseries at Arlesey, Langford and Shefford, plus school-based provision at Gothic Mede and St Christophers Academies. This provision is both enhanced and enriched by the work of the BEST Education Services and School Improvement team, and the Bedfordshire Schools' Training Partnership (SCITT) partnership.
