  School Tours – September 2025 Intake

   

  We know how important it is for parents to get a ‘feel’ for a school and we always enjoy showing prospective families around.

   

  Our dates for the September 2025 intake tours have not yet been confirmed.  We hope to publish these on our website, together with details on how to book a space, in early October 2024.

   

   

  These sessions are designed to be information gathering for parents and are therefore not suitable for children to attend.  Please note that our tour will unfortunately not be suitable for children/babies in pushchairs as you will be visiting working classrooms with very limited access.

   

   

  For more information about our school, please visit our website: https://www.blackmore.essex.sch.uk/

   

   

  We very much look forward to meeting you.

• School Closure Procedures

  Mon 04 Sep 2023

   

  Schools occasionally have to close for a variety of reasons such as lack of heating, water, electricity or due to severe weather conditions. Closing the school is always the last resort which is based on the health and safety of children and staff. We always do our best to inform parents/carers as soon as possible and there is a variety of ways we do this. Here is a reminder of our school closure procedures.

  PLEASE ASSUME SCHOOL IS OPEN – we will notify you via the media below if we are closed.

   

  Also, please avoid ringing the school so that the phone lines are available for emergency calls.
