Sharnbrook Upper School and Community College, commonly referred to as SUS or simply Sharnbrook,is a large mixed, rural upper comprehensive school for students between the ages of 13 and 18. The school is located in Sharnbrook, a village near Bedford and it serves the rural area of North Bedfordshire, drawing from a catchment area of 33 villages.

Built in 1975, the school now has over 1800 students and around 200 staff, and includes a large sixth form of around 650 students.

Because of its popularity, the school is currently oversubscribed, and some parents resort to moving house into Sharnbrook's catchment area to guarantee their children a place at the school. Quite a sizeable proportion of sixth form students join the school in Year 12, having completed their compulsory education at other schools.

Famous exex-pupils of Sharnbrook -

	Sean Longden - historian and author of To The Victor The Spoils, Hitler's British Slaves and Dunkirk, The Men They Left Behind.
