About Blackwell Primary School

WELCOME FROM HEAD
A very warm welcome to Blackwell Primary School

I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of Blackwell Primary School, and I was privileged to join the community and dedicated team in September 2019.

Our two-form entry school has bright and airy classrooms set in a large modern building, with fantastic outdoor spaces and large indoor areas, which allow for shared learning for our children.

One of our outdoor spaces is Forest School, which is a fun and exciting way to learn in an outdoor setting, such as a wood. It has proven to have many benefits, such as improving children’s confidence, self-esteem and communication skills, as well as their problem-solving skills and emotional wellbeing. The children also develop skills in teamwork, using tools safely and learning about looking after our woodlands, whilst enjoying the outdoors.

We have continued to look at the curriculum we provide and this encompasses it being connected to other areas, where appropriate.

Our children say…
“We learnt about chocolate, which was so great because we got to eat it and make our own chocolate bars!”

“We’ve done debates and stuff on chocolate – it was a debate on, ‘Should chocolate be banned?'”

Our Parents say …
“I loved the Find out Fridays and tapestry. Being able to see what he has been doing is really nice.” “Great communication, friendly and professional staff who make everyone feel welcome.”

Please do not hesitate to contact our school office, 01342 323906, if you would like any further information, or you would like to visit our school.
