Bexleyheath Academy is growing at unprecedented rates. The number of first-choice preferences for Year 7 has increased by 112% in the last three years, and the Academy has grown by over 30% in all other year groups. Bexleyheath Academy is the comprehensive school of choice in the London Borough of Bexley.

We are looking for passionate teachers who really enjoy teaching, and we can be flexible on subject specialism for the right people. We are accepting expressions of interest from Teachers of Science, Maths, English, Drama, ICT, Business Studies, Geography, Design Technology, Art, Media and Music.  We warmly welcome visits to the school so you can see your relevant department in action and meet staff with whom you could potentially work from September. Our facilities are excellent across the school, so you would have all the tools available to provide an excellent education, in every lesson, every day.

Any position in education is inevitably laden with values and ideals, and we are a school built on shared ownership of these. We wish to give our students the very best start that we can in life and, through hard work and determination, we hope that these values and ideals start to take shape as something recognisable in the futures that we help build.

Should you wish to find out more about what we do or would like to talk to the Principal, Joseph Sparks, directly, then please feel free to do so using jsparks@bexleyheathacademy.org

Closing date: Monday March 20th 2023

Interviews will take place shortly after the closing date and expressions of interest will be considered upon receipt. 

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should we receive an overwhelming response. 

Academies Enterprise Trust and all of our academies are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We adopt a robust, fair and consistent recruitment process which is inline with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates. All offers of employment are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, references, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.

Academies Enterprise Trust embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. Job share, part time and flexible working opportunities will be considered.

We are a Disability Confident Employer and there is a guaranteed interview scheme for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria.

Information about the school

Bexleyheath Academy is proud to be a non-selective school in the grammar heartland of Kent. Bexleyheath Academy is quickly approaching capacity with students; in order to accommodate the demands of the local community and grow our skilled staff, we must expand.

Joining a flourishing school at this time is an amazing opportunity!

With immediate train access to Central London and easy access to the Kent countryside, Bexleyheath has the best of both worlds. Despite having a Kent postcode, Bexleyheath is classified as Greater London due to its strategic location between Welling, Sidcup, and Bexley village. You can reach Dartford for the river crossing with a short drive along the A2.

Its thriving hub is The Broadway – a shopping district with added appeal in the shape of a bowling alley, cinema and a growing number of restaurants. A little beyond Bexleyheath and you’re at Bluewater, Ashford for the designer outlet and international rail travel to Europe.
