At Blairhall, we work from a foundation of mutual trust and respect for all. We aim to provide all children with quality learning experiences that ensure every child has the skills, knowledge and confidence to achieve their full potential. We support every child to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.

Our school vision was created by our children and staff, taking into account things that our families also value:

“In Blairhall, kindness, strong relationships and friendships help us to build a confident, rights-respecting community. We are leaders who develop our skills and talents. Showing resilience and problem-solving we care for ourselves and the world around us.”

Opened in 1925, the main part of the school is housed in an old but well-maintained building.

The Horsa Hut houses the nursery and two classrooms (one of which is used as a support for learning base). There is a small building to the rear of the playground that is used as a music, library and resource room.

There is a large playground area around the school. The playground has large grass and tarmac areas with lines drawn for games. There are formal, wild and vegetable garden plots and a wooden Trim Track.

At the rear of the school, there are areas for children seating and planters for children to develop and look after. .

In 2005/2006 a new multi purpose sports facility was constructed with a grant from the 'Big Lottery Fund'. This can also be used by the local community. The building houses a multi-purpose gym, ladies and gents changing rooms, pupil and disabled toilets and some small cupboard space for janitorial use.
