blenheim high school
As a community, we strive to ensure that Blenheim students are afforded every
opportunity to reach their potential both inside and outside the classroom.
Inside the classroom, rigorous monitoring of the consistency and quality of
teaching, quality of assessments and the impact of feedback have ensured that
students flourish. Outside of the classroom, sporting, musical, artistic,
dramatic, STEM and other extra curricular activities including an extended day,
ensure that students continue to benefit from a rich co-curricular experience
that develops them as students and as people. Blenheim sets high standards in
terms of uniform with ten ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations
regarding behaviour and conduct. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and
purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what
we expect and see every day. As we prepare our students to take up their place
in society we actively encourage them to take personal responsibility and to
become independent learners. Part of this process involves the integration of
iPads across the curriculum. Over 99% of Blenheim students own their iPad as
part of our iPad for Learning Scheme. Technological evolution is insatiable and
we believe this approach is key to ensuring that Blenheim students develop
attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The iPad
complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of
interactive and innovative resources both in and away from school.
Parents/Carers enjoy the safety that the iPad brings due to it being firewalled
by Blenheim software.
