11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Blackheath High School is an independent day school for girls aged 3 to 18, located in Vanbrugh Park, with roots going back to 1880 when it first opened in Blackheath. The school is structured across Early Years, a junior school, a senior school, and a sixth form, and is part of the Girls' Day School Trust, a registered charity overseen by a council of trustees and a local governing body. Pupils are drawn from across the southern part of Greater London, with the majority coming from the Greenwich and Blackheath areas and from a broad range of family backgrounds. The school is committed to supporting every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those for whom English is an additional language, ensuring that all receive the help they need to thrive. At the heart of the school is a desire to inspire pupils to strive for personal excellence across academic, creative, physical, and social pursuits. The school aims to cultivate curiosity, build confidence, and encourage an open-minded outlook, helping to prepare and empower its pupils for the future.

Smart phones and other mobile devices must be switched off and are locked away in individual student Yondr pouches during morning registration. Students are not permitted to use their phones for the duration of the day – phones can be accessed again when leaving school.
