Wixams Academy is a co-educational secondary school located in Wixams in the English county of Bedfordshire.[3]

The school was constructed by Willmott Dixon[4] and opened in 2017.[5] It is sponsored by Bedford College Academies Trust[6] and serves the new town development of Wixams as well as Wilstead and other nearby villages.

Wixams Academy offers General Certificates of Secondary Education and Business and Technology Education Council programmes of study for pupils.[7] The school was due to launch a sixth form provision in 2022, however in April 2019 it was announced that this would not be happening. This has since been taken back due to public outcry from parents and students. It is currently unknown when it will be coming, but they have said that it will be in time for the founding year to join. [8]
