Bexhill High gained Technology College status in 2001 and was redesignated as a Technology College in its second phase in 2006. As a result a massive extra investment in provision has been made possible in order to raise the levels of attainment of all students in all subjects.
The College is well resourced with information and communication technology facilities, boasting no less than fifteen computer suites in addition to the computers in every teaching room. Teaching rooms also have interactive whiteboards with data projectors, large screen televisions fed by video recorders and DVD players.
Student study is supported by hard copy and on line study guides which continue to be developed to provide a high standard learning resource. Our students are encouraged to use ICT as an integral part of school work.
The faculties of Mathematics, Science and Design & Technology have benefitted from close scrutiny of provision and facilities, resulting in further investment in the students education. The enrichment of facilities that has taken place provides tremendous opportunity for educational experience relevant to today’s world of work. In Science, our student’s use state of the art data collection devices, and the use of computers in the analysis of results with pace, challenge and assistance, allowing a rapid progression in this subject.
As a founder member of East Sussex Partnership of Specialist Schools, a DCFS recognised Federation, we participate in cross County activities ranging from mutual staff training, to events for gifted and talented students.
Vision 2010:
Bexhill High is an inclusive, oversubscribed, co-educational 11-16 International Technology College. It has a dynamic, responsive and flexible management structure and is efficiently administered. The curriculum is delivered by forward thinking, highly motivated, well qualified professionals. Links with the Bexhill Schools consortium, other educational providers and industry mean that it offers a varied curriculum with many different pathways.
High quality pervades every aspect of the College, its culture and environment. The College is rigorous and relentless in its pursuit of excellence. The organisation and all individuals within it are committed to a shared value system, which permenates all activities; is responsive to the wants and needs of all the members of its community, both internal and external; offers consistent, high levels of service and strives for continuous improvement. Equality of opportunity underpins all the College’s activity.
Achievement is high, due to a wide and enriched curriculum. Learning is not restricted by the constraints of the College day; it is enriched by opportunities which extend beyond the classroom curriculum, which offers a range of opportunities to all learners, recognising and valuing success at every level and providing access to examinations at an appropriate spiritual and moral growth and celebrates achievement in its widest sense. Attainment is significantly high; success is achievable for all and life long learning is a principal outcome.
The College is a community of confident, highly motivated and enpowered individuals who thrive on success, support and respect one another. Student’s behaviour reflects the College’s commitment to a safe and caring community. Each member of the college community is equipped with well developed independant learning skills. Information Communications Technology is a central focus of the College: it pervades all systems and the whole community can access the intranet.
