Bexleyheath Academy is part of Academies Enterprise Trust, one of five schools in the London Region serving over 5000 pupils. It is proud to be a non-selective school in the grammar heartland of Kent and will stop at nothing to ensure our students achieve the very best of outcomes.

Our core mission has always been to close the educational gap between young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers. Our ambition is one where every child in an academy, no matter their background, has equal access to high quality education, giving them the same opportunities and potential to succeed.

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.

This has been achieved through high expectations, a high-quality curriculum, brilliant teaching with each teacher wanting to get better every day and, most importantly, an embedded culture that drives every decision in the school. This culture is embedded at the Academy through the core values of, ‘Be Unusually Brave, Push The Limits, Discover What’s Possible and Be Be Hearted' leading to high aspiration, high motivation and outstanding outcomes.

We are currently accepting applications for a Learning Support Assistant. We are looking for enthusiastic candidates who care deeply about making a difference to the lives of our students. 

If you are looking to join a group of motivated, inspirational people committed to delivering an excellent education that launches children into remarkable lives then this is the academy for you.

Should you wish to visit us in person then our doors are open to you at any time on any day. Please contact the Principal rluthfa@bexleyheathacademy.org

 

The role is due to commence October 2023

Closing date: Monday 16th October 2023

Interviews are scheduled to take place soon as possible after the closing date.

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.
