Hello from Mrs richards
Welcome to Blacko Primary
Blacko Primary School is a good school with an excellent local reputation. We are set in a rural position in East Lancashire. From all directions, we have views of rolling countryside, with Pendle Hill in the distance. The village of Blacko is well known throughout Lancashire because of Blacko Tower. It was built at around the same time as the school and is a focal point for miles around.
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.
There are 104 pupils on roll and we are pleased to be continually oversubscribed.
Our ethos is to develop young people with creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others. We are proud of our dedicated and committed staff who strive to create confident and well-educated children with our core values; Be Ambitious, Be Collaborative, Be Respectful, at their centre. Nurtured in an environment where they will have the opportunity to create lasting memories, giving them the confidence to reach their full potential, from tiny seeds, mighty trees will grow.
Our website has been designed to provide visitors with a wealth of information. However, a visit in person is the best way of getting a real and truer sense of our outstanding school. We welcome you to talk with our staff and pupils and find out just how outstanding we are.

Class 3 are enjoying learning about light in their science lessons! This week they used cardboard boxes and torches to gradually increase the amount of light so they could see the object inside and they could understand that darkness is the absence of light! @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/LKciIBqjxa

Hartley Class have been busy exploring their facial features using mirrors to help them. We noticed that our face can change depending on how we are feeling. We decided to use loose parts and natural resources to create our faces. @ThePennineTrust #EYFS https://t.co/EyHeSL3CZj

To help us understand our emotions Class 1 enjoyed listening to the colour monster story. Whilst reading the story we discussed the kinds of things that make us feel happy, sad, scared, relaxed, angry and loved. We then had a go at making their own feeling jars. @ThePennineTrust https://t.co/wi2lta2YdN

During @WhiteRoseEd Class 1 have been exploring creating sets of matching objects. We discussed that when we match resources the objects must be the 'same' not 'different'. Some children were inspired to create matching sets using our phonics sounds too. @ThePennineTrust #EYFS https://t.co/FEXsusR40h
