What the school offers its staff
The school is well regarded in the area for its music, drama and sport, especially netball, football and cricket. Students are active in debating and public speaking. We regularly achieve very impressive results in National Mathematical Challenges. There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities with around 40 different clubs and societies. Charity support also features strongly in the life of the Sixth Form and the school. We have a particular link with RUSH in Kenya and each year collect shoe boxes for children at Christmas through the Biggin Hill Romania Group.
The rewarding aspect of working at Archbishop Tenison's is reflected by the way in which staff stay at the school and the high level of staff commitment to extra-curricular activities mentioned earlier. Moreover, each year there are language exchanges, educational journeys abroad, residential field courses, Duke of Edinburgh and Christian Union residential weekends.
