About Blaise High School

Blaise High School is a disruption free environment. This ensures that teachers can teach and students can learn during every second of every lesson, day by day. Teachers at Blaise High School are the experts in the room; our school is set up to ensure that teachers can teach in an environment in which they are truly able to make a difference. We prioritise knowledge, delivering a knowledge rich curriculum that is carefully selected based on core knowledge that will lead students towards what is studied at University. We believe in direct instruction, and understand that the quickest way for children to learn something is to be told it. We teach in a traditional fashion; hard work and effort are emphasised and we have extremely high expectations of our children every minute of every day. Our lessons, lesson sequences and units of work, are structured in line with cognitive load theory, and we lean heavily on Rosenshine’s principles and the Teach Like a Champion series. We are genuinely inclusive, and we expect that all children will access every aspect of our school day. Our school is a fantastic place to work for those who are committed to the eradication of the disadvantage cycle.

We are committed to our values of Aspiration, Integrity and Pride. This means we expect the very best outcomes for all our students and we expect that all of our students will work exceptionally hard every day. Our students show their pride in our incredibly high standards in uniform, the quality and quantity of work that we expect of our students, and our focus on manners in our interactions with children. We are a school rich in diversity and we celebrate this daily. All of us believe that every child can be successful no matter our background or starting point. At Blaise, we work together: as a staff body, to ensure we are consistently able to improve our practice; as a whole school, to celebrate and have fun together; and as an entire community, to be sure all of our students are ready to be successful every day.
