Background:

Blagdon Primary was founded in 1687 by Thomas Baynard, the Lord of the Manor of Blagdon, to teach and instruct the poor children of the Parish in reading untill they are able to read the Holy Scripture. The Thomas Baynard School Charity rebuilt the present school on the original site in 1842. This charity still exists today and key parts of the school premises are still leased through it. The school is 'a rural school situated on the north slopes of the Mendips'. Facilities include two classrooms in the main school building and two more on the playground, a computerised library, computer suite and a school hall built in 1908. There are a range of extra-curricular activities offered, including football and netball and music. 'Pupils are encouraged to play musical instruments and the school offers recorder, violin, brass, flute and clarinet tuition'. In addition to music, the highlight of the school year is the pantomime/musical play. Every child in the school is in costume and takes part, there are three performances each to capacity audiences, it is a village event.' The proceeds from this musical along with those from the Harvest Service are donated to a different charity each year. Blagdon Primary School is a happy, caring environment in which each child is individually known and their achievements valued. In close partnership with parents, the school helps to develop confident and responsible children with strong values and support and friendship and high standards of achievement.
