What is BEST?

Bedfordshire East Schools Trust (BEST) is a foundation and charitable organisation. As a Cooperative Trust, the Board of Trustees are elected from the community within the Samuel Whitbread Community College catchment area.

Community members and organisations can become members of BEST and can then be elected to the Regional Forums and then onto the Board of Trustees.

Details of these arrangements can be found in the BEST Articles of Association.

The land and building assets of our Member’s and Associate Member’s educational facilities are held in trust by BEST. The transfer of these assets has been underway since 1 April 2009
