Blenheim High School was categorised by Ofsted as ‘Good’ in all areas in May 2019, has been oversubscribed since 2020 and achieved some of its best public examination results in 2024 including its highest Progress 8 score placing student GCSE performance in the top quartile nationally. The school’s ethos revolves around a Growth Mindset of wanting ’to get better’.
Blenheim is a dynamic, exciting and supportive environment in which to work. The school opened in September 1997 with one year group and has grown to its current size of 1410 students on roll including over 200 in the Sixth Form. Blenheim is a mixed comprehensive and our reputation in the community is excellent. The intake comprises of students from all surrounding areas with ability levels being favourable; over 40% of all students have high prior attainment at the end of Key Stage 2. In recent years the school’s popularity has grown significantly and there is a waiting list in most year groups.
As a Single Academy Trust Blenheim benefits from:
Blenheim sets high standards in terms of uniform with several ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations regarding behaviour and conduct, both in and out of the classroom. Students can be given up to 1 hour detention on any given day without 24 hours’ notice. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what those of us who work at Blenheim see every day. The Headteacher has little sympathy for poor standards of student behaviour.
As Blenheim students prepare to take up their place in society, they are actively encouraged to become independent learners. Part of this process involves the use of i Pads across the curriculum; all teachers and 98% of students own one. Technological evolution is inevitable, and this helps ensure that students develop attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The i Pad complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of interactive and innovative resources both in and away from school, whilst Bespoke Blenheim exercise books continue to be the primary medium for student work.
I hope Blenheim’s journey of continuous improvement and high standards encourages you to complete an application.
