I feel very privileged to be the Principal of such a wonderful school.
My aim for Blakehurst High School is to continue to build on its excellence; to work with the school community and improve what we already do well. Recent academic results show that this is happening and that the staff is committed to ensuring it continues.
I am sure that by working together with the whole school community, we can make Blakehurst High School even better than it already is today.
Please feel free to contact the school or myself if you require further information.
Yours faithfully
