Why Choose The Blandford School
Choosing The Blandford School Sixth Form means joining a supportive, ambitious, and inspiring learning community. Our students benefit from excellent facilities, dedicated teaching staff, and a broad range of academic and enrichment opportunities tailored to individual interests and career goals.
We pride ourselves on knowing each student personally, providing guidance and support every step of the way. With strong academic results, value-added performance in the top 1% nationally, and access to scholarships, re-sits, and enrichment activities, our Sixth Form equips students with the skills, confidence, and experiences they need to succeed in higher education, careers, and life beyond school.
How Do We Achieve This?
Our success is built on a foundation of high expectations for all, supported by consistent routines that promote strong learning habits and positive behaviour.
We understand that achieving excellence requires commitment, resilience, and practice — and we provide the expert guidance and nurturing environment needed to help every student reach their full potential.
What We Ask of You
We want you to choose a school where your child will grow, thrive, and feel a true sense of belonging. At The Blandford School, we believe that education is a partnership — and we ask our students to bring their best selves to school every day.
We expect every student to commit to their learning, to embrace challenge, and to make a consistent effort to meet our high expectations. We help them understand that learning is a journey — one that requires patience, perseverance, and purpose.
Together, we create an environment where students are supported to succeed and inspired to become the very best version of themselves.
"Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends"
