From the Blackheath Primary School
We would like to extend a hearty welcome to you on our website on behalf of the Governors, the staff, the students, and ourselves. We hope it will be educational and give you a sense of the ethos, values, and community of our school. The comfortable learning environment at our school was developed by a dedicated staff team, a helpful governing body, eager parents, and inquisitive students. From Nursery to Year 6, there are high expectations for behaviour and learning. Our school values (responsibility, empathy, smart, politeness, empower, care and team) help our children develop to make a positive contribution to society, now and in the future. We are really lucky to have a building that is relatively modern, well-equipped, and has a great outside area. We work incredibly hard to make sure that the development of the whole kid is at the centre of everything we do because we are proud of our school. Every kid gets the chance to participate in a variety of educational opportunities thanks to our extensive and varied curriculum. These include regular educational visits, visitors in school, free swimming lessons, free music lessons, forest schools, yoga lessons, specialist PE lessons and educational workshops. If you would like a guided tour of our school, please get in touch with the school office. All visitors are welcome here.
