We aim high, we broaden horizons, we develop confidence. Welcome to Bewbush”

The Bewbush Academy is an all-through primary school with extensive outdoor space, including large fields, a reading corner, adventure trails and a bug hotel! We currently have 20 classes; most year groups, with three classes. Our school serves an ethnically diverse population and we work closely with our families and the local community. Within school, every child and adult belongs to a house (Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, and Sapphire) and can earn house points for behaviour, attitude, effort and learning. Our Year 6 house and vice captains work hard to motivate their teams and weekly house point results are shared in our celebration assembly. 

One aspect of learning we believe to be particularly important is that children experience things first hand, learning through talking and doing. To support this, we provide opportunities for interesting and varied lesson activities, which engage all types of learners. 

We value educational visits and try to enable school trips for all of our children. These have ranged from a trip to Arundel Castle, exploring the Smugglers Caves in Hastings and travelling back to the Victorian times at Preston Manor. We also welcome visitors into our school to lead assemblies, perform puppet shows and run workshops. In addition, Bewbush Academy takes part in countless sporting events and hosts several after school clubs as part of our strong belief in enrichment outside of the classroom setting.

We believe that our children should be given every opportunity to thrive and develop their skills across the curriculum. This includes the children being taught by specialist P.E. coaches and a Music teacher as part of our PPA provision. We teach Literacy through Talk for Writing and expose our children to weekly problem solving in Maths. 

The Bewbush Academy will support growing leaders as well as giving teachers the skills, knowledge and expertise to embark on the next stage of their career. We have a strong track record of supporting and developing NQTs and are part of the SCLP, who provide a variety of Literacy, Maths and Teaching & Learning training sessions. 

We would like to appoint staff who will be team players, committed to our children and who enjoy life! We are seeking people who are creative, prepared to try new things and who believe that education is an all-round, holistic experience. We have high aspirations for all our pupils, encouraging them to fulfil their own dreams and ambitions. 

If you are committed to aiming high, broadening horizons and developing children’s confidence, then we would love to hear from you - we would be very happy to show you around so that you can experience our thriving and vibrant school first hand.
