Welcome

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the website of Blackthorns Community Primary Academy.

Blackthorns is a happy, inclusive and creative school located in the beautiful village of Lindfield, close to Haywards Heath in West Sussex. As a small and supportive community, we value all children and adults as individuals with their own strengths and talents. Through our core school values of kindness, respect, independence, teamwork and determination, we work hard to support the children to grow academically, socially and emotionally, so that they leave us as confident young people, ready for their next stage of education.

We are fortunate to be surrounded by a talented and hardworking group of staff, who are fully committed to enabling the children to become the very best they can be. They invest time and effort in getting to know the children and building strong and trusting relationships so that there is a deep sense of belonging to our school and community.

We are fortunate to benefit from a large school site with two playgrounds, a large school field and woodland area, which all enhance the learning experiences.

Please feel free to explore the information on our school website and please contact our school office if you would like to arrange to visit and have a tour.
