Welcome to Bligh Primary School

On behalf of our wonderful team, our pupils, and the Maritime Academy Trust, I am so happy to welcome you to our school website.

At Bligh, we want every single child to love learning and dream big. We work hand-in-hand with our parents, carers, and local community to build strong, happy foundations so our children can grow into confident, independent young people who are ready to take on the world. Our children deserve choice and opportunity.

Our HEART values

We believe in "Ambition for All" which simply means every child can achieve great things, no matter where they start.

Our school day is guided by our HEART values:

• Honesty

• Empathy

• Achievement

• Resilience

• Teamwork

Along with our three simple rules, Ready, Respectful and Safe, we create a calm, cheerful, and welcoming space where everyone feels at home.

A caring space where every child belongs

Your child’s happiness, safety, and well-being come first..

• Safe & Happy: We make sure every child knows who their "Safe Adults" are at school, so they always have someone to talk to.

• Extra Help When Needed: Our brilliant inclusion team is always on hand to help with speech and language, build confidence, or give a little extra emotional boost when needed.

• Here for the Whole Family: We consider ourselves a hub for our neighborhood. We aren't just here for your child, we’re here to support your whole family, too.

Growing up and moving on

From early years right through to Year 6, we guide your children step by step. When it’s time to get ready for secondary school, we partner with fantastic local schools to give pupils a taste of life in Year 7. By the time they leave us, they are confident, excited, and ready for their next big step.

We’d love for you to explore our website, come for a visit, and feel the vibrant, caring atmosphere at Bligh for yourself. We can't wait to partner with you on your child's journey.

Warmly,

Christian Markham

Headteacher, Bligh Primary School
