Working at Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Academy

Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy is a large all-through school of over 1600 children that takes pride in getting to know pupils and parents; working in partnership to get the best possible academic results for children and providing an education for character that is synonymous with the Haberdashers’ ethos. Our school opened in 2009, and our facilities for learning and recreation are first class, purpose built and safe. We provide targeted support and a broad education to enable each and every one of our students to reach their full potential and to grow into well-rounded members of our community. We Offer education across all key stages which has consistently been judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted, most recently in December 2014.

Facilities at the school are first class, from the building itself to the resources which support the delivery of a broad curriculum including an extremely popular and well maintained Learning Resource Centre. Our playing fields, gymnasium, drama theatre and ICT facilities all contribute to ensuring we deliver an education for character, a feature of all Haberdashers’ schools that is part of our DNA. Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy is 30 minutes from London Bridge by train and the school’s proximity to the capital is a strong factor in enabling teachers to enhance the cultural experience for our pupils through enrichment activities.

The Federation currently comprises three all-through schools and one free primary school, which totals over 5,000 students and 600 staff. The scale of expertise and leadership across our Federation gives us enormous capacity. It is this capacity that has resulted in the success of the Federation, and it is this capacity that allows us to mount new ventures and allows our staff to take on new opportunities and rapid development trajectories.
