About Blenheim High School

Blenheim High School’s headline Progress 8 score of 0.27 sits just a hair above the Surrey local authority average of 0.26, placing it in the ‘above average’ national banding. That might not sound like a huge gap, but in a county packed with strong secondaries, even a small positive margin is meaningful — it means pupils here typically leave with a quarter of a grade more per subject than the national average. The school ranks 26th out of 66 similar schools in Surrey, which puts it comfortably in the top half of the county. Its Attainment 8 score of 49.2 is solid, and nearly 69% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The EBacc average point score of 4.31 is respectable, though only 22% of pupils entered the full EBacc suite, which is lower than some local competitors. Still, the school’s overall academic picture is one of steady, above-average performance rather than standout excellence.
