Now a proud member of the Belong CE Multi Academy Trust, the school is part of a wider family united by the Christian values of Hope, Love, Community, and Compassion. These values, shared across all Belong schools, shape an environment where every individual is valued and empowered to flourish.

Academic excellence is at the heart of Archbishop Blanch. The school continues to maintain outstanding outcomes at Key Stage 4 and beyond, championing ambition and high expectations for all. Our work as a Lead School for Initial Teacher Training with Liverpool John Moores University reflects our commitment to developing exceptional teaching and learning across the region.
