Blacko School is a Community Primary School which offers primary education to children aged 5 – 11. Our building is over 100 years old and is a traditional village school. Children of 5 years of age gain a great deal from close contact with older children and our small staff are committed to the development of a happy thriving school.
Blacko School has always placed the individual child at the heart of its teaching and learning. We aim to cater for the needs of all our children.
Your child begins learning with his or her family. The school comes in later and builds on these foundations, but the family continues to be just as important as before. We want to build a relationship with you which will help your child do as well as he or she can possibly do. We urge you to become closely involved with all stages of your child’s education.
The best way to get to know our school is to arrange a visit and we'll answer any questions that you may have.

Hartley class noticed that the weather was extremely windy this morning. We decided to create our own kites, we then added some secret symbols to our kites to help them to fly. @ThePennineTrust @canigoandplay https://t.co/sNHeyOMvwu

Some final pictures from our amazing trip to Quarry Bank Mill. We’ve all had such an amazing day and had great experiences learning about what life was like for children here during the Industrial Revolution. https://t.co/jZjs4Ab5iP
Class 2 have begun their artist exploration page on Picasso and his self portraits. We have explored pattern, shading and a variety of his self portraits over the years. We spoke about how the different portraits made us feel and what we liked about them. @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/hwROofqxbF
Now we’re learning what it was like working in the mills, we’ve realised what a dangerous place it was to work. Children worked bare foot and had to crawl under the looms to tidy up the loose cotton. Girls also got paid half as much as boys for doing the same job!! @QuarryBankNT https://t.co/pu6mICc981 https://t.co/lq5JJcIN6R
Class 1 began their @WhiteRoseEd matching and sorting unit. We have loved playing matching games using our Autumn cards. The children even created a ‘match’ table. We have also been busy in the building area creating towers which are the same and different. @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/zfqweVepq1
Now it’s time to learn all about the varying working roles in the mill, it’s fascinating to learn how little they were paid for doing so much work. We’ve all decided we’d rather be the mill manager than the mill workers! @QuarryBankNT https://t.co/JGhaMqHzCg
We’ve had a great morning so far, Class 3 have had a tour of Quarry Bank Mill and are now learning what life would be like living in the apprentice house… a handful of porridge for breakfast and lunch, bread and milk for tea and 13 hour working days!! @QuarryBankNT https://t.co/t065jPMMtz
In Class 4, we are really excited about our new unit on Bridges in DT! @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/mTaHMMDbrM
In class 2 today we stepped through our magic mirrors and into role as Major Glad and Major Dizzy (hence the hats) the children used their Oracy skills to develop their ideas for writing what the toy soldiers would say to one another superstars @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/WFeLhBSxAu
