Welcome from the Principal

I am delighted to welcome you to Leigh Academy Blackheath: an 11-18 comprehensive secondary school that opened in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in September 2018.  Growing one year group at a time, in September 2022 we will reach full capacity: providing 180 student places in each year group from 7-11, and 250 student places in the sixth form.  

Leigh Academy Blackheath is a place where tradition meets innovation and potential is realised within a nurturing community.  Our purposeful and multidisciplined learning environment creates a climate where students not only acquire knowledge, but also master the essential problem solving and critical skills needed to succeed and lead in the 21st century.  Our community is collaborative and, together, we ensure our students develop into powerful citizens for a digital future.
