Specialising in supporting schools to improve their performance, BET continues to grow a community of like-minded academies with the highest aspiration and dedication to achieving the best outcomes for their learners. At BET, we are responsible for the education of approximately 13,000 pupils and employ a dedicated team of just over 1,500 staff members. Our organisational structure is designed to facilitate collaboration and innovation, with schools grouped into phases and clusters to further allow specialised and cross-phase work.

The size of our schools range from a one-form entry primary to an eight-form entry secondary school with a sixth form, however schools are equally important and carry the same influence in terms of decision-making in line with our commitment to inclusivity and fairness. Central to our mission is the belief that every child, regardless of their background, deserves access to a high-quality education and as an employer we know that our people are the key to our success – so for this reason you will find a culture of excellence across our schools, inspiring confidence and belief in our communities.
