New Admissions – Parents

The Blandford School is a successful 11-18 secondary school and sixth form with approximately 1,000 students on roll. The vast majority of children join us in Year 7 and a high proportion remain with us through to the end of Year 13. Our positive reputation means we also have students from outside the area as well as young people previously educated in the private sector.

Below is the key information for new parents. If there is something you can’t find, or you need a different version, please call us.

All completed forms must be sent to admissions@blandfordschool.org.uk or can be downloaded and handed into reception.

Our Parents’ Evenings are now online. This is the most convenient way to connect with teachers.

Be assured we will always work hard to make sure that parents are informed and involved in all aspects of their child’s education!

Headteacher's Welcome

On behalf of the Governing Board, Staff and Students at The Blandford School I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your child. Our school values (REAP) stand for Respect, Effort, Attitude and Perseverance and every day our students embody these as they learn inside and outside the classroom as well as in social times, meeting visitors and members of the community. We encourage students of all abilities to be ambitious, challenge themselves, show resilience and be polite and well-mannered. It is our aim to keep you informed and up-to-date in all that is taking place at the school so please visit our website and facebook page regularly. Thank you
Mrs Sally Wilson
