"Excellent Early Years Program"

We joined Blackwell First School last year and I'm really pleased with the Early Years program. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, and the children are encouraged to learn through play. My child has thrived in the nursery and reception classes.

"Mixed Experience"

My child attended Blackwell First School for 2 years and had some positive experiences, particularly with the Forest School program. However, I felt that the communication with teachers was sometimes inconsistent, and the school could do more to support children with additional needs.
