Blackburn Primary School

Are you passionate about education and want to make a difference to our school community?

We are welcoming expressions of interest for potential roles within our governing body.

We are looking for committed and motivated individuals, who share our values and passion for education. Experience in finance, human resources, business, education or working with young people would be desirable but not essential.

The role and responsibilities of a school governor include: providing support, overcoming challenges in delivering educational excellence, and achieving outstanding outcomes for all pupils. Governors will have an interest in the performance of the school, an open and enquiring mind and the ability to look at issues objectively.

Governors will have the confidence to ask questions, work with and listen to others, join in debate, and make informed judgements.

Being a school governor is a voluntary commitment. You would need to be available to support at governing board meetings (7 full meetings take place per year starting at 5.30pm).

Please share with family, friends and colleagues. You can send any expressions of interest to: [email protected]

Thank you

Mr Barr
Headteacher

We've really enjoyed our creative family learning activities this year - this week Y3 made bug hotels

Curriculum enrichment at Blackburn - this week Y2 experienced a Victorian school day. (I think they prefer modern day teaching!)

Curriculum enrichment at Blackburn - today was the Year 3 Roman workshop

Our children all get the opportunity to compete and represent their house teams in sports competitions. Children are also recognised for their achievements against our sports values. The tennis winners were Raleigh.

Fun in the sun at lunchtimes: Playground games, areas to relax and Eco club

Y5 had a great day researching and printing at the Millennium Gallery. It was nice to receive such positive feedback from gallery staff and members of the public about the children's excellent behaviour and manners

Each week in our assembly we read a story. The children get the opportunity to explore how this relates to British Values and our own school values. We also like to share news of children demonstrating these values.

At Blackburn the children can enjoy a wide range of extra curricular activities including sports, science and technology, dance, theatre, arts and crafts and even nerf wars

Each week we hold our celebration assembly - here we celebrate children from classes who have demonstrated our values of being responsible, kind and respectful, aspiring to excellence and being resilient.
