At Leigh Academy Bexley, we aspire to be a highly effective and truly inclusive school, reflecting the vibrant, diverse, and dynamic community that we serve. We believe in connecting with our local community and championing our local area.

Your child’s success and happiness are our number one priority.  We are a caring community where everyone feels safe, valued and empowered to explore, experience and achieve.  Our vision is to shape proud, articulate, confident, independent learners equipped to take their place in wider society.

Admissions

We believe in providing our young people with an education, one that unlocks curiosity, ignites ambition, and forges a social conscience, equipping our students with the tools they need to have an impact on the world around them.

LAT is one of the largest and most successful multi-academy trusts in the region, with 31 academies in Kent, Medway, Bexley, and Greenwich. It has the capacity to provide significant and immediate support in all areas required so that KHS can enjoy the benefits of being part of a wide local educational network.

An increasingly broad programme of extra-curricular opportunities is offered to all students, extending the curriculum beyond the classroom and providing students with increased confidence and building resilience.

We aim to enhance the life chances of every Leigh Academy Bexley student, an ambition which goes beyond exams and league tables alone.
