THE SCHOOL

Blanford Mere Primary School was opened in 1975. It is situated in pleasant
surroundings and serves a residential area to the north of the centre of
Kingswinford. There are 310 pupils aged 4 to 11 on the school roll. The school
has a good reputation and consequently the number on roll has risen steadily.

Community facilities include churches, a large supermarket, several small shops
and two gymnasiums. Nearby is an industrial trading estate. The school resides
at the heart of a housing development and enjoys a unique position overlooking
King George Park.

We are fortunate to have a purpose-built Foundation Stage Unit which
accommodates our Nursery and Reception classes; this provides a very friendly
and stimulating environment in which to learn.

We also offer Breakfast and After School Clubs facilities for Reception to Year 6
aged children.

The design of the building is ‘open plan’ in Key Stage One with the more traditional
classrooms in Key Stage Two. We have a large multi-purpose school hall, an
excellently equipped library/computing suite, as well as a food technology area. At
the front of the school is a large playground and grassed area; at the rear we have
another playground and playing field.

We are a caring school with a reputation for good standards and we benefit from
motivated, hardworking staff who are committed to providing the children with a
broad and balanced curriculum. We are proud of our academic and pastoral
achievements and our belief of nurturing each child to his or her full potential.
