Church’s inspection rates Archbishop Blanch as outstanding

The hard work of staff and students at Archbishop Blanch Church of England Secondary School has paid off after Church of England inspectors praised it as outstanding.

The school was rated as outstanding in every area following an inspection by SIAMS – the Church’s statutory inspection of Anglican and Methodist schools.

Inspectors, who assess all C of E and Methodist schools across the country, praised Archbishop Blanch School for its leadership, Christian values, high standards in religious education and strong links with the wider community.

The report, combined with the school’s excellent G.C.S.E and A-level results, prove that high academic standards can be achieved at the same time as delivering an exciting curriculum and looking after the children’s spiritual and social development through a strong Christian ethos.
