We would like to warmly welcome you to Blakeley Heath Primary School and Blakeley Bears Nursery and wrap around care. We are a very happy, caring and nurturing school, that works hard to provide children with a wide range of interesting and exciting opportunities.
At Blakeley Heath, we develop children's knowledge and skills, so they are prepared for their next step in education. We believe it is also essential to develop characteristics such as co-operation, resilience and self-belief so children feel confident in a range of situations both in and outside of school.
To do this, we not only focus on teaching and learning but also provide children with many different opportunities such as residentials, visits and participation in local events such as the carnival and Wombourne music festival.
