Welcome to West Blatchington Primary and Nursery School

West Blatchington Primary & Nursery School, where we passionately believe in developing the whole child, through high quality teaching and learning combined with an abundance of enrichment opportunities.  

We embrace the outdoors and have a much loved wildlife garden, incorporating a gardening club and eco club, which see the children learn about the importance of looking after our environment as well as where our food comes from, in addition to a wide range of sports clubs, from tri-golf, basketball, dance and yoga.  Music is another important and creative element that permeates throughout the school, through regular performances, a choir, the orchestra and our weekly singing assemblies, led by our dedicated music teacher.
