Blackheath High School

[SIQ]

Hi
My DD got offer from Blackheath High School for Year 7 .I wonder if anyone knows about Science program and tutoring in this school.
I appreciate any help and information about this.

What kind of tutoring? I have a friend with a child there

How does the school do academically, particularly in Science? I heard that the Science teaching is poor.

We have an offer for BH as well.

Academically it’s on the up - this year rose from 140 to 98 on the times school list for indies, and it was clear the Head was pushing it to be seen as not the back up school it once was to other SE schools. Whether they can maintain the selectiveness and standard with the VAT I don’t know but it’s also a cheaper option than others in the area so possibly can work in their favour by attracting girls who may have opted for JAGs or others.

When visiting I didn’t get the impression that Science teaching was poor at all but I also didn’t get the impression that this was their focus - came across as more of an all round school. I know of a few girls there and unaware of any tutoring at least pre GCSE/A level (although I’m sure it probably does happen).

Hi
Does anyone knows whether the school teaching Scieance as a separate subject from year 7?
