Dear Ms Chiculita,

Thank you very much for your email.

We are delighted that xxx has made such significant progress over the last 6 months.

It seems that the support the school has provided xxx is paying dividends. On the home front, we have been doing our utmost to encourage xx to keep on reading and support him with being more conscientious in doing his homework. He is currently reading George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia", which is not only enriching his vocabulary, but he is also learning about the Spanish civil war.

Thank you very much for taking time to write to us and update us on xxx's progress, it is greatly appreciated.

I wanted to say what a brilliant experience this has been so far and how well do you communicate with families about everything. This is not the experience that we have had at primary school so this has been a great start to our secondary school experience.

He's enjoying his lessons and clubs and I feels really lucky as not all her parent friends in other schools are having the same experience.

Just wanted to share.

Called reception to say that she was getting on the B12 bus today and there were a group of male students from the academy, they helped her with her trolley and were very polite. She said they were a credit to the school!

Dear Team Lift Bexleyheath,

I have just had a wonderful experience of your students and I wanted to share this with you. I also wanted to make sure that xxxx, xxxx, xxxx & xxxx in Year 08 are given the recognition that they deserve.

I was struggling with my shopping and my two toddlers as I was walking down the street. In my head I was worried about them possibly running into the road, your students saw this and walked over to help. The were kind and polite and helped me cross the road and got me to the bus stop, they offered to wait until I got on the bus. They truely cared about me getting on the bus safely with my children.

It is lovely to see this type of care and I can only think it is th parenting and the school environment that would create this type of behaviour.

Please praise them when you see them.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I wanted to let you know how amazing your staff have been for xxx. Ms Ikuesan and Ms Chiculita spend time with xxx and me this week making sure that xxx was ok and ready for school.

They thought of everything that could be a problem for him next week and sorted it out so there was no excuse not to be ready for the first day. You knew how much I struggle with getting xxx back to school and you did not than I could imagine to make it easier for me as a parent. You staff are brilliant.

I look forward to getting xxx back to school lol!

Mr Rai,

I need you to know how much your calls meant during the holidays. You called xxx every week to check in on his and I makes my heart warm to know you did it to make sure he was doing ok during the holidays.

I also appreciate the food parcel you dropped off this week. It means a lot and was very helpful in the final week of summer which is a struggle.

23 August 2025

A Parent at #LB

Dear Bexleyheath Community,

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the food parcel my family received. It was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and it made a real difference to us.

Knowing that the students took the time to collect and prepare these parcels means so much. It’s wonderful to see young people showing such care and compassion for others in their community. Your kindness brought not only practical support, but also a sense of hope and comfort during a time when it was truly needed.

Acts like this remind us that community spirit is alive and well, that by working together and looking out for one another, we can make a genuine difference in people’s lives. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to all the students who contributed. Their efforts have been deeply appreciated.

01 August 2025

Dear Ms Luthfa

I just wanted to drop you an email to acknowledge some of the excellent teachers who have made a real difference to xxx’s first year at BA.

She had a rocky start to the year and really struggled to settle into year 7, I think mainly due to the size of the school and the huge change from primary school. However, there have been a few teachers who have really understood her and worked with her to build her confidence and get the best out of her. I have emailed the teachers directly to say thank you (the ones we haven’t managed to get an appointment with on Thursday) but I feel you need to be made aware of these teachers as it is clear what a difference a supportive and encouraging teacher can make.

Firstly I have to acknowledge the huge support Ms Arthur was over the first few months – I had to call on her a few times and she was always extremely quick to respond and extremely understanding and caring of xxx and it was a huge relief to us to know she was looking out for her. It was year 7’s loss when she moved year group.

Ms Golding has also been very helpful in recent months when xxx had a couple of issues and again was very understanding and quick to respond.

Then I have to mention how encouraging the following teachers have been to Ava: Ms Caba, Mr Asemota, Mr Ridout, Mr Echianu. Also Ms Liu who has understood xxx’s lack of confidence in drama and supported her in this.

I know people are very quick to get in touch to complain about things but I wanted to acknowledge these teachers who have helped xxx get through the year.

Dear Ms Luthfa

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience I have had during my teaching placement at Bexleyheath academy.

My time here has been truly amazing. From the outset, I have felt welcomed and supported by a strong professional network, which has made a significant difference in my development as a trainee teacher. The school offers excellent resources and promotes high levels of learning, creating an environment where both staff and students can thrive.

In particular, I would like to acknowledge the Humanities department, and especially Rone and Esma, for their exceptional support, guidance, and encouragement throughout my placement. Their expertise, kindness, and willingness to share knowledge have been invaluable to me, and I have learned so much from working alongside them.

I have only positive things to say about my placement. It has been an enriching and inspiring experience, and I would definitely consider teaching here in the future if the opportunity arose.

Hello Ms Andra Chiculita,

Thank you so much for the invitation to the EBSA workshop for families. I’m delighted to let you know I attended the previous workshop on supporting neurodivergence in young people.

It was an incredibly insightful session and I love the fact that you are taking time to teach parents about these things during a time that there is a concerns around young people and what they are experiencing. It is hard to know what to think or do as parents but the school has provided us with opportunities to learn and meet parents that might be experiencing or questioning the same thing.

Good Evening,

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a big thanks to the PE team for such a great session today. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and made a real effort to ensure all guests felt involved.

I enjoyed the opportunity to see the sports facilities at the school, and hear about the initiatives the team are putting in place to support the students long-term physical health and development. They are clearly very passionate about what they do, and what the school is trying to achieve.

I can’t say I enjoyed ‘running’ around the track (twice!) but I really appreciated the opportunity to engage more with the school, so thank you.

Dear Ms Luthfa

I just want to express my gratitude once again for the continued support that Ms Chiculita provides not only for my child but for me as a parent also. The advice and guidance is phenomenal.

The communication yes is timely but more incredibly so, to have someone who actively listens and is determined to find solutions is beyond what I had hoped for particularly from such a large school in a two tier academic environment.

Thank you and I hope that leadership will continue to support the SENCO provision for all pupils who need it.

Hi Mr Choudhury

Just wanted to say thank you so much for putting on the tours.

I found the one tour today really helpful. I was unable to make the initial viewing with my husband and child in September and so this tour was really welcomed. The school was very accommodating to what we needed.

I was really impressed with what I saw on a typical day at the school. With the number of tours you put on, it was great to see that this is what a typical day is like which helped me make my decisions about the school for my child.

22 May 2025

A Parent at #BA

Dear Mr Choudhury,

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time out of your day and the two great pupils, to show us around.

The Academy has a very nice atmosphere, in a fantastic location regarding all the green space.

Every class we looked in gave the impression the pupils where very much engaged with the teacher, the varied sports are a bonus.

The approach to pupil conduct is one to be applauded. But most of all my son xxx came away with a great big smile, the visit relaxed any "fears of big school".

He is very much looking forward to starting his exciting new adventure.

Dear Ms Delver,

It was such a great to come and see your school. The systems you have for managing attendance and behaviour are consistent and because they are consistent, your school is a great place to be for both the staff and the students.

Lessons were disruption free and students were engaged.

There are so many ideas that I have taken to take back to my school. I am very grateful for not only the time you gave me but for arranging for me to meet a range of different staff members that knew the systems and embedded them.

It would be great if more of our staff can come and see your school. I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Dear Mr Choudhury,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and the entire team for organising yesterday’s Masterclass for the Year 6 pupils.

This initiative is truly invaluable, providing students with an incredible opportunity to enhance their learning and build confidence.

My daughter, xxx, found the Masterclass both helpful and enjoyable. It has noticeably eased her anxiety about the SATs, as she had been feeling quite stressed and spending late nights studying.

I truly commend you for your dedication to the community and hope that this wonderful initiative continues, as it is making a meaningful and positive impact on the children’s education and well-being.

Please also extend my gratitude to Mr Kirby as he took time out to answer some of my questions.

Hopefully I will see you next year as I have a daughter currently in year 5.

03 April 2025

A Parent at #BA

As always, thank you so much for all you and the rest of the BA staff do for xxx. He had, possibly, the best year 7 in a history of year 7s. I have older children that did not go to BA and it is making me which they had attended here.

I have to say, social media is awful at spreading fake news about the school and this is why I did not send them here. However, speaking to reasonable parents and looking through your Latest News weekly, you get a real sense of what the school is like which helped me choose the school. It is not the school people paint on social media and people need to know this. Thanks to all your hard work and care that you give my child and all the other children in your school.

Forever grateful.

Good Morning,

I hope all is well. I am emailing today to pass on what was a lovely experience with one of your students yesterday.

Around 8am Tuesday morning I was taking my little girl into Busy Bees nursery with my 6 month old in tow in the pram. A delightful young man wearing the BA uniform was also at the nursery (I believe he has a relative that works there). He saw me coming towards the door and very kindly opened it for me to let me through. He was just so kind and so pleasant. There was then a second set of doors which he also waited and offered to open for me asking if he can help me at all. I feel that school children are often given such a hard time about their behaviour or manors but this young man was just wonderful. He's setting a lovely example to the others, and the school and his parents should be very proud of him.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find out who this boy was as all I know is he had the uniform on alongside a few badges and may have a relative working at Busy bees nursery. But if possible, I'd love this to be passed onto him. He really made my day in the morning with his kindness!

Good Evening Dr Lucas

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the teachers at BA for the extra support given to my son. xxx tells us about you and how positive you make him feel.

xxx has attended all booster sessions provided and he has definitely become more positive about his ability as a result.

He will be attending the sessions you have remaining even on his birthday! Ha! He said he would rather be in Booster as it is fun, we can celebrate after Booster!

Thank you for everything you are doing for my boy.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

Just a note of thanks for enabling the senco team to deliver such an incredible and informative session this evening about ADHD.

I am so grateful the school is willing to acknowledge and support students with any neurodiversity but also help us parent and collaborate with the school to support our child's education.

I did thank the team yesterday but also wanted to highlight to yourself how amazing they are.

Thank you again for your support at leadership level. Please continue it is crucial.

Dear Mr Kirby,

I just wanted to say a massive well done to the polite boys who were on the maths part last night at the option meeting, they was so helpful and gave out some great advice to me and my daughter.

It was great to see the students talk about each of the subjects and talk about their experiences. This made it so much my easier to understand the student experiences. It is the best set up for this kind of event.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

What a lovely school you have!

The student leaders were a dream as they spoke about the schools mission.

Wherever I went, the classrooms were calm and purposeful.

The focus group later on in the day echoed everything that I had seen and heard from the student leaders. Students understood the why of all of your initiates which is unusual and yet enlightening.

Keep up the great work and make sure that spark never dies.

Dear Team,

On behalf of the broadway, I want to say a big thank you for consistent support in making sure that students are respecting the community.

Your children are lovely and this is becasue of what you do in school but also your presence in the community. We always look forward to seeing your Principals pink high vise but also your other teams colours after-school. You stop your students from becoming the ones we have issues with and I wish the other schools in the local community showed a commitment to the community like you guys do.

Continue doing what you are doing.

Dear Ms Kobewka,

It was great to finally meet with you today. You do not know the difference it has made to xxx to be able to come onsite before school starts and get back in the routine.

You were kind to him which is what he needed after the Christmas we have had and you were so generous with stationary making sure he had everything he needed to come back to school tomorrow.

You have a lot of students to deal with but thank you for taking time to deal with mine.

06 January 2025

A Student at #BA

Dear Ms Luthfa,

First of all Happy Christmas Eve. I know what you are thinking, why is he emailing me on christmas eve. Well I was thinking about this term and thought that the school is good at making sure that they celebrate us with the trips and the assemblies and the emails you send about attendance but I am not sure how many of the children at the school say thank you to the school for what they are doing for us.

I want to speak to the student leaders about what we should do the let the teachers know that they are great and that they are great for always giving us their time and believing in us even when we get it wrong.

Can you give them all a christmas present from the students to say thank you?

24 December 2024

Dear Ms Chan,

Thank you for your call today.

It was lovely to hear the progress xxx has been making. xxx was really struggling this half term with xxxxxx. She has not been herself however, the support of your staff put me at ease that she was in the best place to be in school with people that care and will look after her.

Please can you share my gratitude to your team. They have been amazing. For the Pastoral Manager who was checking in with her daily, to her Prep teacher who not only spend time with her during prep but gave her a place to go to during lunch when she was feeling down. I also want to thank Ms Ayling for her counselling session. There is nothing the school has not thought of.

Please let the team know to really enjoy christmas when it comes, you all deserve it.

Hello Ms Shalo,

I really loved the opportunity to meet with you today. It is great to hear about the personal development programme that yoou have and it has put my mind at ease that you are continuously thinking about the students holistic development beyond the grades.

I was blown away to the thinking that has gone behind what you offer each year group and the reasons you do this. This needs to be shared with parents more.

13 December 2024

Dear Staff at Bexleyheath Academy,

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you and your wonderful students for the thoughtful Christmas parcels you created for the residents at Parkview Residential Home. Your generosity and kindness truly brightened the festive season for so many of our residents.

The visit from your students was one of the highlights of our Christmas celebrations. The residents were overjoyed to spend time with such caring young people, sharing stories, laughter, and genuine moments of connection. It was heartwarming to see the smiles, hear the conversations, and feel the warmth that filled the room during your visit.

Events like this remind us of the power of community and the importance of bridging generations. They allow young people to learn from the experiences of older generations while giving our residents the joy of feeling valued and remembered. These interactions build empathy, respect, and understanding, qualities that strengthen both our community and the future we share.

Thank you once again for your generosity, compassion, and commitment to fostering these meaningful connections. Please pass on our heartfelt appreciation to all the students who took part, they made a real difference.

20 December 2024

A Visitor at #BA

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I love that our community countinues to think of others. As a family, we have spent part of our weekend sourcing the items that the residents of Parkview Residential home would like and it has forced the conversation about charity but also what life is like for the elderly which we often do not talk about.

I just wanted to reach out and say well done to your team for thinking about how to develop our children to being better people and projects like these are very important.

Keep up the great work and lets keep this project going!

To Staff,

During the summer we had a lot of contact with the school and it is not something that schools do because you are on holiday. It is hard when you have all the kids at home and I felt that when I received the calls that I had someone to talk to but also it help me get ready to make sure I was ready for my kids to get back to school.

xxxx struggles after every holiday and I thought that him speaking to staff through the holidays made the return back to school earlier.

I also wanted to thank everyone that provided food for the parcels. It was kind and I know that I benefited from the extra bits to have over the holidays when the kids are eating more at home.

04 September 2024

First of all thank you so much for your email, it's is extremely refreshing for us as parents to be recognised for the efforts that we put in to our children's education and I am delighted that the Academy also see this.

I can honestly say it's not always easy, especially as a single parent to 'fight the good fight' but it sends the message that their education is such an important stage of their life, and one that at their age they are yet to see the benefit of it.

Hindsight is always 20/20 and I know for sure that this sentence is repeated across the country: if I knew then what I know now, I would have worked harder when I was at school.

Thank you for what you're doing, you've restored my faith in that school. I was a pupil there from '81-'86 as Bexleyheath School and I was bullied extremely badly to the point where my parents wanted to pull me out.

I had my reservations in sending my son there given my experience but without exception you and your staff have blown me away. All of the BA pupils I have encountered have been respectful and courteous and this is an example of what can be achieved with good leadership and a positive, nurturing environment.

What you do has an impact not only on the children but the families too.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

Thank you for your kind words and for recognising xxxx's attendance record this term. I truly appreciate your acknowledgment of our efforts to prioritise his education.

We believe that consistent attendance is key to his growth and learning, and your support and encouragement mean a lot, and we are grateful for the positive environment you provide for xxxx and his classmates.

Thank you once again for your thoughtful message and for all that you do for our children.

Just a note to say how incredibly impressed I am with BA to date. BA was our third choice and so we had our reservations.

However, my son has settled very well (a huge achievement I assure you) and having just finished my meeting with Ms Chiculita who was incredible in listening to me, educating me on how I can better support my son as a parent and planning a support action for him in school I am blown away.

I did of course thank Ms Chiculita in person but wished for you both to note how very impactful she is for the school and the students.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I just wanted to send a quick email to say a massive thank you, to yourself and all of xxx’s teachers.

From when he was first moved from Welling School to the academy, I have found the school and all of the staff to be so helpful and supportive and truly amazing. xxx really turned a corner at BA and that is mainly down to the support he was given.

Throughout this time your staff at BA have been fantastic. Mr Whitham, Miss Goodrich (I believe is his sports study teacher) and today his music teacher Anita have shown such encouragement and support and have never given up on him. This is how I remember teachers to be. We managed to complete his music coursework today thanks to the time and effort Anita put in and we are truly grateful, it has given xxx the confidence he needed and helped him not give up completely.

Mrs Bulford and Miss Kendall have also made such an impact on Harry and again showed him so much support.

I just wanted you to know how thankful we all are with the kindness everyone has shown towards him.

Take care and good luck for the future.

Dear Ms Kendall,

It was a pleasure to help young minds today.

I just wanted to quickly say how lovely everyone that came to speak with us was. Whilst they came with their worries it was great to hear that they already knew how the academy supports students with mental health concerns and everything they have at their fingertips.

06 May 2024

To the team at Bexleyheath Academy,

Please can you thank your wonderful students who showed us around the academy today.

They are a true credit to the great work you are doing in the academy and they could not stop talking about how much they loved being part of the academy.

Walking the corridors, there was a real sense of pride that the students had about their academy as they confidently opened the doors of classrooms and encouraged us to come in and see what was happening.

Each classroom was warn and welcoming and students were eager to tell us all about what they were doing.

We look forward to our next visit to the academy soon.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Whitham, Ms Pelton & of course (the ever amazing) Mrs Bulford. Their presence for xxx (and i am sure ALL the yr11 students) is a great source of reassurance during this build up to the gcse exams.

I would especially like to thank Ms Bannerman. xxx finds her a very inspirational teacher and really feels she learns a lot from her. Its been lovely to hear (from xxx) that she feels she has closed some possible gaps in her learning and gained confidence from the teaching given by Ms Bannerman in lessons.

We dont really get the opportunity to thank the many dedicated teachers that are teaching at Bexleyheath Academy . So I just wanted to pass on my thanks and praise.

On my way to the turnstiles I cam across xxx, xxx and xxx. They had been collecting piles of plastic bottles from the flower beds outside of the academy as they wanted to make sure the community looked tidy.

They have said that they would be encouraging other students to do the same as they wanted everyone to care for the community

Dear Year 07 Pastoral Team,

I am a teacher from St Catherine's and wanted to alert you of 03 of you Year 07 students. I live in the local community and was in Russell Park with my son last Thursday. Three of your students alerted me that a student from another school had urinated on the slide. There were concerned for my son who was about to go on the slide. I wanted to let you know as it took them a lot of effort to warm me and therefore, I wanted to take the time to praise these students for doing the right thing.

Their names are xxx, xxx, and xxx.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

It was great to have the opportunity to meet with you as well as other members of the parent community at BA last week.

It was good to myth bust at the start of our time together as people just needed to hear the truth which you were able to back up with evidence rather than gossip in social media.

Walking around the academy was lovely and great to see how far the academy has come in class sizes and general engagement in lessons.

We look forward to visiting during school events in the future.

My husband and I had a meeting with the Senco Lead Andra to talk about our son xxx. I cannot praise her enough. She was enthusiastic and showed great passion in making sure every child in your school gets a fair chance. It's the first time in Charlie's schooling that someone has responded to us in this way, and as parents this made us feel very reassured.

What an inspirational lady, she will be a great asset to the school. Thank you.

It might only be a badge but my children have received two badges this year for achieving 100% attendance for each term.

I am happy to see that their efforts to attend the academy daily are being recognised. They were their badges with pride and I am a proud mum that shows their badges off to all other parents.

Thank you for also recognising the great things both my boys do. I was so happy to hear of all the nominations they got in their assemblies.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I’ve been here a very long time but I do not think I have taken the time to sit back and look at how far we have come as a school. This is not just a reflection on the improvements of staff in the classroom but also the changes in our students as learners.

I was observing lessons in my department this week and can see the fruits of our labour. Students are courageous and curious in lessons as they ask challenging questions. Students are articulate and well-mannered.

I also reflected on how we are shaping them beyond the great grades we know they will get and am proud of our approach to creating students that care with the charity work that we have been doing as a school.

I am a very proud staff member of what we have achieved and what we continue to achieve.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

First of all, thank you for not giving up on xxxx. Coming to the Year 11 Mock Results evening tonight was something I was dreading but when xxxx opened that envelope, it proved to him and me that he can do it! But what can not be looked over is the helps and support that your staff have given xxxx over the last few years and especially when he started Year 11.

All the hard work from staff to getting him to interventions and getting him to attend the saturday sessions with kindness and patience. I am not sure we would ever get that in another school. now that xxxx knows he can get 4s in maths and english, the world is his oyster and we are all going to push him to the next grades.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

Please can you thank your SEND department for hosting my visit today and allowing me to railroad their tour.

It was incredible to see that when staff were describing a bespoke reading programme for students that they actually meant that. Each reading class that I went into had a tailor-made program for the students in that classroom. The phonics classes were also heartwarming to see.

I was lucky to also see Year 7 Mathematics lessons and the differentiation from class to class was incredible. The bottom set had 9 students, two LSAs, and a main teacher. The support in this particular lesson was incredible.

Dear Ms Kobewka,

I would like to thank you for allowing me to view your school today.

It was great to see that students are being prepared for the future their your innovative ways of using Chromebooks to support progress.

All lessons that I visited had a sense of purpose, students were enjoying their lessons and what was great to see is that staff were having fun teaching their lessons.

I would very much like to visit the academy again later this year.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I was really proud of our Year 8 students today. I was on the Broadway after school and saw there was a lot of commotion from students from xxxx.

The Year 8 students that were close to the incident did not stand there like innocent bystanders but they went to get help from the security guard at McDonalds and the police officers close by. I went over to them and asked if they were ok and they said that they wanted the issue with the students at xxxx to stop as they were worried that people would get hurt.

Then you and Ms K came along to help. I thought I would tell you how our kids did because they were great.

Dear Staff at Bexleyheath Academy,

I often question how the youth of today are being brought up and I am often shocked at their lack of heart.

Today, my faith in the world was restored when I saw two of you students helping an elderly lady off of the B15 bus. Not only did they help her off the bus, I saw them check if she was ok and also ask if she wanted help getting to Asda. Grown adults did not do this but two people in your uniform did.

I do not know who they are but I ask you to try and find them to congratulate them for what they have done!

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I hope this email finds you well.

I would like to take another opportunity to express my gratitude of your support during the fire at Parkview on 30.03.2023.

It was lovely to see some of your 6th Form students stop by Parkview today to check in on the residents.

They have spoken about some talks about the academy running some events for the residents, we really look forward to hearing about these plans. The residents are eager for another one of your visits with students soon. They really value your time to come and see them and enjoy the energy that the students bring with them.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

I would like to thank the academy for ensuring that there are a range of clubs to suit all needs of students this year.

Please can you thank your SEND team for encouraging xxxx to attend Lego Club and Warhammer club. xxxx has made a number of friends through these clubs which he had difficulty doing previously.

I would also like to thank the local police officers who run the Warhammer club. It was a great idea to get them on board.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

The device ban has been great. xxxxx has made three friends already this year. I used to worry about what xxxxx without the phone during breaks as xxxxx did not have many friends and now I see why you did it.

Dear Ms Luthfa,

We asked our child about the impact of not being able to use their phones in the academy. He said he had been playing and talking to his friends.

We had been worried about this change but can now see the impact as xxxx is clearly making more friends and has more to talk about when he gets home.
