Starting school at Blackhorse

Reception Intake 2026

Welcome to Blackhorse Primary School! We are delighted that you are considering Blackhorse for your child's first school and look forward to showing you how we build champion learners.

We have a number of Open Mornings and 'Stay and Play' sessions planned for the Autumn, so please sign up for one of these BY CLICKING HERE.

STAY AND PLAY SESSIONS (NEW FOR 2025)!

On 16th and 17th September 4pm-4:45pm we will be opening our EYFS indoor and outdoor provision so that you and your child can come and have a play and informally meet the Reception staff. Spaces on these sessions are limited to 40 per session, so book early to avoid disappointment!

OPEN MORNINGS

Following high levels of demand for these in 2025, we have added an forth session this year. These sessions start with a talk by Executive Headteacher, Simon Botten, and Head of School, Neil Fry, followed by a short talk by our Reception Leader, Hannah Stevens, followed by tours of the school.

Open Morning dates:

9:30 - 10:30am Thursday 2nd October 2025

9:30 - 10:30am Monday 13th October 2025
