History

Grammar schools

Archbishop Blanch School was formed in September 1981 from the amalgamation of two grammar schools, St Edmund's College (a direct grant grammar school) and Liverpool Girls' College.[2]

Comprehensive

In 1993, the school moved to a site vacated by Paddington Comprehensive School at Mount Vernon, before moving to its current purpose built site in September 2015. The school was awarded specialist Technology College status in 1995 and became a Training School in 2007.[3]

Curriculum

Archbishop Blanch School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. The school sixth form is part of the Faiths Partnership with fellow member schools Bellerive FCJ Catholic College, St Hilda's Church of England High School and St Margaret's Church of England Academy. Together, the schools offer a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[4]

Ofsted rates the school as 'Good'.[5]
