Whole School Literacy Lead and Teacher of English - ASAP

Thank you for expressing an interest in our school. As the founding Headteacher, I am delighted to welcome you to Bullers Wood School for Boys, a boys’ comprehensive school in Bromley.

We opened in September 2018 and are now in our sixth year of operation. We have 900 boys on roll from Years 7 to 11. Our ambition is for our boys to progress on to Bullers Wood Sixth Form, located on our partner school site - Bullers Wood School for Girls.

 Our aim is to provide an outstanding education for boys within a culture of high aspiration, courtesy and respect. It is our core belief that all of our boys can enjoy and achieve success whatever their starting points.

You will be joining us as we continue to develop. In February 2023, the School had its first successful OFSTED Inspection and our first set of GCSE results in August 2023. Therefore, for the first time, we feel like an established ‘grown-up’ school.

We have been in our new building for two and a half years now, having been in two temporary buildings for the first two and a half years of the school’s existence. Although our site is compact, we enjoy spacious classrooms including specialist Science, Art, DT, Music and Drama facilities.

 IT facilities for staff are excellent. All teaching staff have ’plug and play’ lap tops where resources and lessons can be uploaded, shared and presented from any classroom whiteboard in the building. Students also have good access to IT facilities where we have a designated computer suite, as well as a MAC suite, plus a number of lap top trollies on each floor. These are maintained by our dedicated Creative & Media Technician.

 Although we have come a long way in the last six years, we continue to move forward on our journey to becoming an outstanding school. There is still much to do and develop, therefore, attracting the very best staff is key. We are seeking staff who are passionate, engaging, driven and flexible. Most of all, staff who are resilient, who can build positive relationships with boys and young men and who are unafraid of rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck-in when necessary.

In return, we offer you the chance to be part of a team, continuing to develop a fantastic school serving this local community. We also offer you the support network of our established partner Schools, Bullers Wood School for Girls and Chislehurst School for Girls, as well as opportunities for enhanced professional and career development within the School and across a growing Inicio Educational Trust Academy.

We have created a great school in Bromley that will serve many generations of boys to come. After reading about us, I hope you will want to be part of our story and our continuing journey.

I look forward to welcoming your application.
