Advert

Bexleyheath Academy is a non-selective comprehensive situated in the heartland of Kent grammar schools. When inspectors visited Bexleyheath Academy in July 2021, they said that the way in which pupils work in school has been “transformed”, and that “there is a positive atmosphere in classes and around the school”.  Inspectors also said that the school “has completely changed” and have confirmed in their report that Bexleyheath Academy is officially a good school. 

Inspectors commented that the team at the Academy “set students consistently high standards” and that pupils are “polite, friendly and considerate”.  They said that the students “actively demonstrate the school value ‘be big-hearted’.”  Inspectors also confirmed that “Pupils make strong progress in their subjects, particularly English and Mathematics.”

Bexleyheath has been on an incredible journey of improvement, from previously being in special measures to our current status as a good school and we have a fantastic team of friendly, happy staff in place who have worked hard to realise that transformation; students who are proud to be learning at the school and parents who firmly support the team here.

We are currently accepting applications for this Senior Science Technician.  We warmly welcome visits to the school so you can see your relevant department in action and meet staff who you would be potentially working with from September.  Our facilities are outstanding across the school so you would have all the tools available to you.

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.
