Your School

Bleakhouse Primary School is a community Primary school for pupils aged 3-11 years. The
Early Years and Key Stage 1 are housed in a modern building while the Key Stage 2
building was built during the 1930s. The school enjoys a pleasant aspect with playing fields,
playing areas and an enclosed area at the centre of the juniors. The ICT facilities are
excellent and improving all the time as we are committed to fully developing our children’s
ICT capability. Children’s access to ICT is supported by portable computer and tablet suites
as well as a Learning Hub which greatly enhances the pupil/computer ratio.
Education after 11 is provided by High Schools or Academies. We have close links with a
number of these schools and this helps make the transition from primary to seniors a smooth
and productive process.

Our Vision

Our vision is to raise the expectations and aspirations of our children by working in
partnership with parents and the community to help each child reach their full
potential. By encouraging children to learn through a rich and inspiring curriculum,
we believe that they can aspire to be the best that they can be.
We encourage children to develop friendships, show respect, aspire to excellence,
show determination and courage, treat each other equally and to be inspired in their
work, so that they can succeed in all that they do.
So that we can inspire our children to succeed we will:
• Be a learning community;
• Enable every child to reach their full potential;
• Encourage children to become partners and take ownership of their learning;
• Enable every child to become a responsible and reliable member of society who
understands the Fundamental British Values including democracy, the rule of law,
individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and
beliefs;
• Ensure everyone is valued and appreciates all cultures and traditions, as well as
appreciating the importance of Sustainable Development;
• Develop self-esteem in the whole school community;
• Develop positive and meaningful links with parents, engaging them in their children’s
education;
• Reflect the school in the community and the community in the school;
• Develop and extend Basic Skills in English, maths and technology;
• Work in partnership with others to offer opportunities for interactive, hands-on,
personalised learning, using high quality IT resources as a vehicle to enable and
empower children to become, anytime, anywhere learners in all aspects of the
curriculum.
