Our curriculum, enhanced by many enrichment opportunities, clubs, trips and visits, is broad and varied. We aim to support students in achieving their potential both academically and as well‑rounded, confident individuals; we are equally committed to the professional development of our staff.

We believe that high expectations in a disciplined but friendly learning environment are essential and respect for oneself and others underpins this. Outstanding pastoral care ensures students feel happy and safe and are, therefore, best placed to succeed.

Many of our students progress into our Sixth Form where they are joined by others from elsewhere. They make an important contribution to the life of the school, involving themselves in a wide range of activities including World Challenge, and supporting younger students in a variety of ways. Sixth formers enjoy their own common room, café and study areas.

Great Baddow High School Specialises in Science and Sport and is a centre of excellence.

We deliver a high quality education in science that challenges and stimulates students. The sciences are popular A Level subjects with many students choosing science‑based courses at university. We promote many vocational and enrichment opportunities, including STEM projects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) to enrich learning experiences.

Specialising in sports since 2004, our sports facilities, teaching expertise and extra‑curricular provision are outstanding. Our students enjoy sporting success at district and national level and benefit from an exceptional extra‑curricular programme although our ethos is centred on participation for all.

Great Baddow High School is part of Quantum Multi‑Academy Trust; a collaborative family of eight schools united by a shared commitment to excellence in education and a deep sense of community.

QMAT is a dynamic and forward‑thinking trust, comprising of one large secondary school and seven thriving primary schools, all rated Good or better by Ofsted. Our schools are united by a shared culture of excellence, where relationships, opportunity, care, and kindness are at the heart of everything we do.

We set high standards and expectations, nurturing the potential in every child and empowering them to forge successful pathways for the future. Our ethos is not just about what we achieve, but how we achieve it—with integrity, compassion, and a relentless commitment to improvement.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
