About the School
Archbishop Blanch Church of England High School for girls in year 7-11, with a mixed sixth form, is at a very exciting stage in its development. Judged to be “Outstanding” in February 2020, behaviour is described as “impeccable”, while the school’s core values were seen as critical to the success of students. Our school is a very diverse community and we welcome applicants of all faiths and cultures.
Across the board, the curriculum is ambitious and students achieve excellent results in external examinations. This is underpinned by a strong pastoral system that enables pupils to flourish.
The number on roll at Archbishop Blanch is increasing and the school is heavily oversubscribed.
We have state of the art facilities including a brand new build that opened in January 2024, an impressive staff development programme and a highly motivated student body to offer to the successful candidate.
As a faith-based school, we have an “Outstanding” SIAMS report and have recently had an extremely positive Keeping in Touch visit. The welcoming and inclusive environment was noted throughout both visits.
The outstanding behaviour of our students, state of the art facilities and excellent pastoral care results in many visitors commenting on the strong sense of a real community atmosphere existing within the school.
Staff morale is high, the atmosphere in the school is very positive and students’ work and behaviour in and around school reflects this. Staff and student retention are high leading to a calm atmosphere across the school with consistency and stability evident.
We have strong partnerships with many external organisations and agencies including other secondary and primary schools.
We have a very strong and supportive Governing Body who take an active part in the life of the school and are fully involved in moving the school on in its journey of school improvement.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment to keeping children safe. Any offer of employment will be subject to statutory pre-employment checks including satisfactory references and Enhanced DBS and Barred List checks.
