Cover Supervisor

37 hours per week, 38 weeks per year

We are expanding at unprecedented rates; our Year 7 cohort is due to triple in number from September 2023 and our whole school pupil numbers have risen 50% over the past two years. 

This is an extremely exciting time to join our school!

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.

As a school of choice within the local community, we are experiencing unprecedented growth in our student numbers. As a result, we are actively seeking passionate and dedicated teachers across all departments who will join our team who work hard 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.

We are now accepting applications for this Cover Supervisor role to start in September 2023. This is an ideal role for any graduates who would like to experience working within a school prior to embarking on their teacher training or someone with a passion for enabling our students to unlock their potential.

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.
