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 hiring for a Safeguarding Administrator to join our fantastic team of support staff from September 2023. As the Safeguarding Administrator, you will play a crucial role in supporting the Safeguarding Officer (DSL) and ensuring the effective implementation of our safeguarding policies and procedures. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about safeguarding and making a positive difference in the lives of young people.
If you are passionate about safeguarding and possess the necessary administrative skills to support our Safeguarding Officer (DSL), we would love to hear from you. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to the well-being and protection of our students, ensuring they have a safe and nurturing environment to thrive in.
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.
Any position in education is inevitably laden with values and ideals and we are a school built on a 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.
