About Blaise High School

Blaise High School is a popular choice among Bristol families, with 275 applications for 201 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.37. Of those, 122 families put it as their first preference, suggesting strong local demand. The school, led by headteacher Nat Nabarro, is a mixed, non-denominational secondary for pupils aged 11 to 19. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2023 awarded a Good rating across the board, including for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a significant turnaround from the previous inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Inadequate. The improvement in just under five years is notable, and the current Good grade gives parents confidence that the school is on a stable upward trajectory.
