We believe that every learner is entitled to an enriching, varied and personalised education; delivered through a broad and balanced curriculum that provides challenge, irrespective of need, starting point or background.
Our commitment to maximising the potential of every child; teaching them the skills they need to be successful and nurturing a desire to be a lifelong learner, will prepare them for whichever career path they choose to follow. At Leigh Academy Blackheath we inspire our learners to go beyond what they are taught and seek what they do not yet know.
Our inclusive community has ambition and drive. We embrace challenge and collaboration. At Leigh Academy Blackheath we are a family and together we cultivate a culture of belonging.
Our academy is divided into three colleges, each led by a Head of College and supported by their own pastoral, academic and administrative team. For parents and carers, this structure ensures that you are able to gain access to the actual adults who work with your children on a daily basis and this supports stronger working partnerships between the academy and home.
