What the school offers its staff
This is an exciting opportunity to influence community education in Sidcup. HCS Sidcup was the first Free School to open in the London Borough of Bexley. The school opened its doors in September 2013, with a Reception class of 30 children, and now has all year groups. HCS Sidcup is a mainstream primary school of Christian designation, open to families of all or no faiths. The school predominately serves the Cray Meadows ward, including Foots Cray, North Cray and surrounding areas.
Local Governing Board members are highly supportive and Trustees (across both schools) are invested in supporting staff at our schools.
