School news in the Blackmore Vale Magazine.

A special section in the BV for all schools whether state or independent can share their news.

What has your local school been up to lately? News from the classroom, whether an art exhibition or a recent school trip. We love to hear all the news about what our children and their teachers get up to when they are not with us.

Recently we have been sent a variety of subjects. From new staff joining a school to special collections for the children of the Ukraine. We love to hear about plays and musical performances. School trips and special guests are a firm favourite. and of course lets not forget about achievements for both pupils and schools alike.

Find all about what has been happening at your local school by reading these pages every month.
