The proportion of children eligible for FSM is 33% and the school has a large proportion of children who speak English as an Additional Language, with 54 different native languages spoken.
Taken from the recent 'Outstanding' Ofsted report, Blenheim Primary School is a place in which leaders, staff and pupils truly live by their school motto, ‘Aiming high in the heart of the city’. Classrooms across the school buzz with engaging and purposeful learning. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils. Pupils rise to this high standard exceptionally well. Adults foster a climate of mutual respect. They engage pupils in meaningful discussion about behaviour. Pupils demonstrate a
mature attitude in how they treat others. They know their actions have
consequences. Pupils know, and follow, the school’s moral code to be helpful, kind, polite and honest.
This staff working at this school are respectful, considerate and helpful to all, sharing expertise and new research findings regularly.
