English Teacher job summary
Bexleyheath Academy is a non-selective comprehensive situated in the heartland of Kent grammar schools. The school is currently in special measures but will not be there for long. The Executive Director for Bexleyheath Academy joined in March 2019 and was previously responsible for the turnaround at Harris Academy Battersea.
Under his leadership, the school moved from special measures to outstanding and rose from bottom in Wandsworth to become one of the only schools in England to record a Progress 8 score of more than +1 in all three years of the measure. It also won the ‘Evening Standard School of the Year Award’ and was designated as a ‘World-Class’ in 2018. Bexleyheath is at the start of the same journey and is actively seeking passionate and dedicated teachers who will join this fight to ensure that our students go on to lead remarkable lives. We have students from all walks of life and will give each of them, no matter how difficult their start, access to every walk of life.
As a teacher within the school, you will be pivotal in redefining what is possible for the students within our care. We are not a competitive school of individual superstars; we are a fiercely determined collective group of staff who will always work together to ensure the best outcomes for the students. All that we ask of our teachers is that they dedicated to children and will always be open to feedback and seek to improve their own practice. We offer a wide range of CPD and an absolute focus on the foundations of what makes a strong classroom. Equally, we are always building future leaders amongst the excellent staff that we hire and leadership development is a significant focus within the school. In joining us, we will make sure that when you look to make the next step in your career we have given you every opportunity to do so successfully.
In terms of the broader school, we recognise that teaching is a demanding career and it is our aim to make sure that staff who have chosen to join the profession are as well supported as they can be. We have a zero tolerance approach to anything that interrupts the learning in a classroom and our central team deals with all behaviour issues, non-completion of homework, phone-calls and detentions to make sure that teachers are as free as possible to do the three things that matter most: mark, plan and teach. As an Assistant Principal you will help make sure that this is always the case.
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.
Should you wish to find out more about what we do or would like to talk to the Executive Director directly, then please feel free to do so using dmoody@academiesenterprisetrust.org. We are always open to visitors at any point.
