Blackfriars Primary

 

 

Welcome to Blackfriars Primary School website!

 

I am extremely proud of the ethos and life of the school and hope this website enables you to feel part of the Blackfriars community!

Pupil wellbeing, learning and achievement drive everything that we do. Pupils are encouraged and supported to achieve their potential and to develop skills for life, learning and work. Our job, in partnership with parents, is to build resilience in our children and provide them with the tools needed to be successful in whatever they choose to do, to enable each child to discover the joy of learning, and to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment which celebrates the diverse community in which we grow. 

I feel very privileged to be the Head Teacher of Blackfriars Primary School and to be able to spend my days with the children and families. We have high expectations at Blackfriars and I attribute this to the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment of our staff and the strong relationship that we have developed between staff, children and their families.

Our website aims to give you a glimpse of what goes on in school, as well as provide useful information and links to learning to enable each family to support their child to maximise their own potential.

For further information please contact the school by email or directly by telephone.  We will be pleased to hear from you.

Ms Laura Crossan
