At Blackfell Primary School, every child is supported to feel safe, happy, and confident within a warm, inclusive, and nurturing community. We celebrate diversity and ensure that all children are valued, respected, and able to flourish, reflecting our commitment to inclusion and safeguarding in everything we do.
We provide a strong foundation of essential academic, social, and life skills through an inspiring, broad, and enriching curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning, offering memorable experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Through these experiences, we encourage children to be aspirational, set high goals for themselves, and embrace challenges with confidence.
Our aim is for every child to leave Blackfell Primary School inspired, ambitious, and fully equipped with the knowledge, skills, and character to embrace the future with confidence, compassion, and curiosity.
Our school values – relationships, resilience, resourcefulness, risk-taking, and reflection – underpin all aspects of school life. We place honesty, respect, and kindness at the heart of every interaction, fostering strong relationships that enable every child to thrive.
By nurturing resilience, encouraging resourcefulness, promoting thoughtful reflection, and supporting positive risk-taking, we help children grow into confident, capable learners ready to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
We have developed a school poem to help us understand what these values mean. In our celebration assembly each week, special awards are given to those that display these values through their work, actions and interactions.
We aim to achieve this by...
Building strong partnerships with parents, carers, and the wider community, keeping communication open and welcoming.
Modelling positive behaviours and attitudes so that children see adults as the example of how to act, treat others, and respond to challenges.
Living by our 5R’s – relationships, resilience, resourcefulness, risk-taking and reflection – as the foundation of all that we do.
Providing a broad and balanced curriculum that excites, inspires curiosity, and helps every child to develop independence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.
Enriching children’s experiences through opportunities that spark imagination, build character, and prepare them to be confident, respectful citizens in a diverse and changing world.
Supporting children’s personal growth by preparing them not only for their next steps in education but also for life, equipping them with essential life skills and the confidence to succeed.
Creating a calm, positive and fair environment with clear expectations, where boundaries are consistent and behaviour is respectful.
Having high expectations for all, encouraging pride, effort, and self-belief so that every child can flourish and achieve their potential.
Nurturing children’s aspirations by encouraging them to set ambitious goals, believe in their potential, and recognise the possibilities open to them in the wider world.
