What the school offers its staff
School overview
Blackthorns is a happy, inclusive and creative school located in the beautiful village of Lindfield, close to Haywards Heath in West Sussex. As a small and supportive community, we value all children and adults as individuals with their own strengths and talents. Through our core school values of kindness, respect, independence, teamwork and determination, we work hard to support the children to grow academically, socially and emotionally, so that they leave us as confident young people, ready for their next stage of education. We are fortunate to be surrounded by a talented and hardworking group of staff, who are fully committed to enabling the children to become the very best they can be. They invest time and effort in getting to know the children and building strong and trusting relationships so that there is a deep sense of belonging to our school and community. We are fortunate to benefit from a large school site with two playgrounds, a large school field and woodland area, which all enhance the learning experiences. Having become an academy in 2015, we are now looking forward to the many benefits of being part the Hurst Education Trust (HET), which we joined in summer 2026. We would very much like to welcome you to Blackthorns for a tour and to find out a bit more about our school and community.
