Pebworth First and Blackminster Middle Schools’ Federation Celebrate A Very Good Year!
Staff and pupils at Blackminster Middle School are celebrating the 'double whammy' of the opening of two new state of the art laboratories, as part of a huge refurbishment funded by WCC, alongside a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted, following a short inspection on 9th October this year.
Head teacher, Lorna Button, is delighted that the inspectors celebrated the many strengths of Blackminster Middle school including the rich curriculum, the impeccable behaviour of Balckminster pupils and the good progress made in all subjects, including English and maths.
At one stage the future of Blackminster looked uncertain due to age range changes made by some First schools in the area, but WCC firmly backed the school by investing almost a million pounds in new facilities, including two new laboratories, a new DT area and Food technology room plus a graphics and textiles room. Blackminster Middle School will have some of the best science and technology facilities in the county once the work is completed in February 2019.
Ofsted praised the resilience of school leaders and recognised the way this had " contributed to sustained improvement in pupils' progress" since the previous inspection. "Staff have maintained a welcoming and secure culture throughout the school and they have ensured pupils behave well, and as a result, the overwhelming majority enjoy coming to school and have a positive attitude to learning."
The full report can be seen on the school’s website.
Blackminster Middle School is in a federation with Pebworth First School, also rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in May this year. Pebworth pupils regularly benefit from using the facilities at Blackminster as they can easily be transported in the federation minibus. Ofsted praised the educational opportunities at Pebworth which include a brass band, a forest school and a kitchen garden.
We are also pleased to announce that Sunflowers Nursery will operate from Pebworth First School, offering full time care from 8am until 6pm, including through the school holidays.
We welcome visitors at any time in both our schools, so you can see for yourselves what we have on offer. Please do come and visit soon.
