School Values
Love, Hope, Perseverance, Respect, Responsibility
Welcome to
Welcome to Blandford St Mary Church of England Primary School. I feel immensely proud to be the Headteacher of this wonderful one-form entry school where children truly are at the heart of everything we do.
We offer excellent standards of care, guidance and support and a high-quality learning environment to support all learners equally. The school upholds an ethos of high expectations which provides children with challenging opportunities where children acquire skills, knowledge and confidence that can be applied to all future learning experiences. These opportunities encourage respect, self-belief, excellence and enjoyment and prepare our pupils for the next stage of their education.

Year 3 have been exploring continuous line drawings- creating artwork using one unbroken line! The children focused on looking carefully at shapes, patterns and details, while experimenting with line, movement and creativity. It was wonderful to see how everyone's drawings developed in such unique and imaginative ways! #Year3 #education #art #continuouslinedrawing #drawing

Science in action. Are all changes to materials irreversible? From writing on tables to investigating how we can separate different materials and mixtures. Children have been busy predicting, experimenting, observing and explaining. #primaryscience #experiments #handson #investigating #experiments
Year 1 have been exploring self-portraits through colour, shape and imagination. So much creativity and personality in every picture. #education #littleartists #year1 #art #creativity
Year 5 have been busy designing and creating Coil Clay Pots. From art books to carefully making each coil with intricate details, their creativity, patience and detail to design really shines through.

From their very first day of school...to their final day of Year 6. Look how much they've grown. From little faces filled with wonder to the incredible children they are today, it has been a privilege to watch them learn, grow, laugh and make memories along the way. Now, they're ready for their next adventure... We are so incredibly proud of you all Year 6. Go out into the world, be brave, be kind, seize new opportunities and challenges and make it a better place.
What a successful and fun-filled two days of Forest School. Our children enjoyed a wonderful range of hands-on activities: woodwork, cooking, natural art, bug stations, seed planting and clay mindfulness. Two days filled with creativity, curiosity, learning and plenty of outdoor fun. A huge thank you to our wonderful Miss Maese for planning, organising and resourcing such a fun-filled experience for all our children. Also our parent volunteers, who were absolutely brilliant. Such a memorable time for all. #education #outdooreducation #forestschool #happychildren #creativity
Sun, sea, smiles and so many happy memories! Our annual whole-school beach trip was a fantastic day filled with fun and laughter. We enjoyed paddling and splashing in the sea, digging holes in the sand, building amazing sandcastles and sharing lunch together under the gazebos. We finished the day with well-deserved ice creams and ice lollies! A wonderful day of friendship, teamwork and making memories together. #beachday #schooltrip #makingmemories #fun #happychildren
Healthy Lunch Challenge! In Design & Technology, Year 3 explored what makes a healthy lunch by using the Eatwell Plate as their guide. They analysed different lunch ideas, planned balanced meals, prepared a variety of foods, then tasted and evaluated each one. A fun way to build cooking skills, make healthy choices and learn through practical experience! #education #year3 #dt #healthychoices #foodpreparation
