Blackheath Primary

What Blackheath Primary does

Blackheath Primary School is a state-maintained primary school located on Britannia Road in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England, operating under the governance of Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. The school provides full primary education for children from Nursery (age 3) through to Year 6 (age 11), following the 2014 National Curriculum for England and structured around a seven-step curriculum framework emphasising Reading, Experiences, Aspirations, Knowledge, Wellbeing, Vocabulary, and Skills. The school employs 18 staff and runs a single-site campus with accessibility features including ramps, a lift, evacuation chairs, and disabled toilets. Its leadership comprises Headteacher Mr Hytch, SENCO Mrs Jo Morgan (holder of the National Award for SEN), SEN Advocate Mrs Darby, and Designated Safeguarding Lead Kate Hill, with SEND Governor Patrice Meredith providing board-level oversight.

The school's core products are Nursery, Reception, and Years 1–6 education delivered via an integrated curriculum that includes English, Maths, Science, Spanish (MFL), PSHE & RHE, and a broad range of foundation subjects. Add-on services encompass SEND support through a Total Communication Environment (Makaton, PECS, visual timetables, now-and-next boards), Wellbeing services accredited under the Wellbeing Charter Mark, wraparound childcare provided by RB Active Care (7.30am–5.45pm, £6–£12 per session), school milk via Cool Milk, Free School Meals administration, and uniform assistance. The administrative technology stack centres on Arbor MIS, supplemented by a website built on the Greenhouse School Websites platform with Google Translate functionality and a Facebook parent-engagement channel.

The school does not operate a commercial revenue model. As a maintained primary school, it is funded through Sandwell Local Authority per-pupil grants rather than tuition fees. Ancillary income is limited to third-party wraparound care fees collected by RB Active Care, optional school milk purchases, and uniform sales (with subsidy schemes for Free School Meals-eligible families). Customer segments are narrow: families with children aged 3–11 residing within the Rowley Regis/Sandwell catchment, plus a sub-segment of families seeking SEND provision. The school operates an extensive partnership network — NHS services (Reflexions, School Nursing), Sandwell Inclusion Support, Autism West Midlands, Barnardo's Family Hub, Black Country Food Bank, West Midlands Police, and West Midlands Fire Service — reflecting a community-embedded operating model rather than a commercial go-to-market motion.
