"Nurturing Community and Outstanding Teachers"

My son has only just started at Leigh Academy Blackheath, but we have already been impressed by the warm and welcoming community. The teachers are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each student's progress. The values of Respect, Ambition, and Resilience are clearly embedded in the school's culture, and we feel confident that our son will thrive here.

"Great Experience, But Room for Improvement"

Our son attended Leigh Academy Blackheath from Year 7 to Year 11, and while we were generally pleased with the education he received, there were some areas that could be improved upon. The facilities are excellent, with a wide range of extracurricular activities available. However, we felt that the communication between teachers and parents could be better.
