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.

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.

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.”
