About Blatchington Mill School
Our school motto is Involvement, Achievement, and Care. In all aspects we aim to excel. At Blatchington Mill School & Sixth Form, we believe, above all else, that education is a transformative force for good. Learning changes what we are and what we can become. It changes how we view others, and it changes how we interact with the world. It reveals our potential, and helps us discover our passions.
Blatchington Mill School’s community is incredibly special. We are a truly inclusive school and our students, staff and families are fully representative of the city in which we live and work. This diversity makes us appreciate difference and celebrate individual strengths. In order to learn well, we must all feel safe and secure. As such, we have unapologetically high standards for behaviour and conduct, and no tolerance for bullying or discrimination. As such, we are graded by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ for behaviour and safety.
We expect a lot of our students, and they respond to the challenge with enthusiasm. We are celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results, with our students adapting incredibly well to the challenges of this unusual year. We achieve incredibly strong academic results by ensuring every lesson, every day, is the best it can be.
We are nationally recognised for our training and teacher development, and we invest in ensuring we have the very best staff. We are also a designated Stonewall Training School.

Values and Vision
Blatchington Mill School College’s motto is "Involvement, achievement and care". The secondary school prides itself on being inclusive and embracing diversity. It sets high standards for behaviour and conduct, and has no tolerance for bullying or discrimination.
School is a place to find yourself – to learn at the very limits of your potential, and in doing so discover who you really are. This is a high-achieving school where students are cared for and nurtured in order that they can thrive.
Ofsted Report
“Leadership, including governance, is good and improving. Shared ambitions ensure that senior leaders and middle managers have high expectations for the school. As a result, student outcomes have improved continuously since the previous inspection. Students do well in their GCSE examinations, especially in science, humanities, languages and performing arts. The development of students’ numeracy and literacy skills is particularly strong across the curriculum … Students’ behaviour is excellent as shown in high levels of concentration in lessons and in the way they take responsibility for their own learning.”
