Our education strategy targets higher standards in primary and secondary education. Bexley is committed to extending resources in Early Years, Primary and Secondary. The total school population is about 36,000.
Teaching is a challenging and highly rewarding career.
Working with children to develop their personal, social, physical and intellectual capacities can bring great satisfaction. Becoming a successful teacher is a long and complex process which requires support and training of the highest quality. The Bexley Primary Consortium for Teacher Training offers graduates a one year course of initial teacher training leading to Qualified Teacher Status. The distinctive advantage is that all the training is directed by the Head Teachers of successful schools in Bexley. Trainees spend about half their time in schools, taking increasing responsibility for the work of pupils, groups and whole classes, and the other half in seminars, lectures and courses covering all the professional aspects of teaching.
