Pix Brook Academy celebrated a favourable first Ofsted inspection, achieving a 'good' rating overall, as well as displaying 'outstanding' elements.
The result highlights achievements made by the school and its managing body, the Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST).
Originally housed temporarily within BEST's Etonbury Academy in September 2019, Pix Brook moved to its permanent location in Stotfold a year later.
Principal Steve Adams had then emphasised that the school's success would be evaluated based on the quality of delivery.
Mr Adams said: “This Ofsted report represents a pivotal moment in the life of Pix Brook Academy.
"The framework for a new school is exactly the same as for any other school and, although we have grown as fast as any school in the country over the last four years, including living through the pandemic, we were rightly required to have everything in place that any other school would.
"It is particularly pleasing the inspectors noted how well our pupils behave and their attitude towards their learning – the Outstanding judgement here is well deserved and is reflective of how well our pupils respond to the high expectations the school has of them.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank parents for their continued support of the school in this area.
"It is only by working together that judgements at this level can be achieved.
"It is also most gratifying that inspectors recognised some of the challenges we faced in growing so rapidly over the last few years by judging Leadership and Management as outstanding.
"Every member of staff at Pix Brook and BEST has worked incredibly hard to ensure our provision is of the highest calibre and that every opportunity is taken to ensure what we provide is as good as it can be.
"I believe it is by working collaboratively with our colleagues in the BEST Central Team and within the broader school environment that we have achieved this outcome and is testament to the ethos and support of a genuinely pupil-focussed organisation."
The Ofsted report, praised leadership and management, and behaviour and attitudes, respectively, as 'Outstanding'.
