Archbishop Wake CE Primary School To Launch Nursery Archbishop Wake CE Primary School, part of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, is thrilled to announce the opening of its brand new on-site nursery from September 1st 2025. The nursery will include a dedicated baby room, enabling the school to provide comprehensive education and care for children from birth through to the age of eleven. This initiative sees the Blandford Children's Centre Nursery becoming part of Archbishop Wake CE Primary School. This marks a significant expansion of Archbishop Wake's offering, creating all-through provision for the local community. The new nursery will seamlessly integrate with the existing primary school, ensuring a smooth transition for children as they progress through Early Years and into Key Stage 1. "We are absolutely delighted to be opening our own nursery," said Headteacher, Daniel Carter. "This has been an exciting project for the entire community, and we believe it will provide invaluable support for families in Blandford. We are really looking forward to welcoming our first nursery children in September." In addition to the nursery, the school will also be taking the current 'Oscars' wraparound care into its provision as well. This will further enable the school to support working families and its community beyond the school day.

St Nicholas and St Laurence Church of England Primary School in Broadwey, Weymouth, is celebrating a highly successful Ofsted inspection, with inspectors praising the school's strong leadership, inclusive ethos, and exceptional personal development provision. The inspection, carried out on 3 and 4 June 2025, recognised the school as 'Good' in all key areas, with 'Outstanding' for personal development. Inspectors highlighted the school's warm, community-focused environment, where pupils are respectful, enthusiastic learners who thrive in a culture of high expectations and care. Headteacher Wayne Roberts, supported by a dedicated leadership team including the governing body, was commended for his clear vision and commitment to continuous improvement. "We are incredibly proud of this report," said Mr Roberts. "It reflects the hard work of our staff, the enthusiasm of our pupils, and the unwavering support of our families. Our mission to 'inspire to aspire' is lived out every day in our classrooms and beyond." The report praised the school's well-sequenced curriculum, strong reading provision, and inclusive support for pupils with SEND. Enrichment opportunities, including music, sports, and sustainability initiatives, were also celebrated. Parents spoke highly of the school's nurturing environment and the positive impact it has on their children's development. CEO of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, Mark Lacey, added: "This is a fantastic outcome for the school and a testament to the leadership of Mr Roberts and his team. Their dedication to providing a high-quality, inclusive education is evident throughout the report. We are proud to have St Nicholas and St Laurence as part of our trust." The school is already taking steps to address the minor areas for refinement in curriculum content and assessment in some subjects.
