Blackminster was designated a County Middle School in 1975 when a three tier (first, middle and high schools) system of education was introduced in the Evesham/Pershore area of Hereford & Worcester.

The change over from it's previous role as a County Secondary School to it's present role as a 10+ to 13+ County Middle School was completed by 1977 and it is now one of four Middle Schools in the Evesham area. They are Bredon Hill and St.Egwin's whose identified high school is Prince Henry's, and Simon de Montfort and Blackminster whose identified high school is Evesham High.

Blackminster Middle School is situated in open countryside in it's very own pleasant 14 acre site gardens and playing fields. It serves the surrounding area and takes pupils on roll at the age of 10+ primarily from the village schools of Badsey, Bretforton, Cleeve Prior, Honeybourne, Littleton, Offenham and Pebworth.

We try to welcome all pupils to Blackminster Middle School but there have to be some limits on admissions. Our standard number per year group is 130. Beyond that figure each case is studied individually.

Every child in the County of Worcestershire is allocated a place at their nearest local school unless that school is full. Our pupils are drawn from our local village schools in Badsey, Littleton, Cleeve Prior, Offenham, Bretforton, Honeybourne and Pebworth. Pupils from outside those areas will be welcomed providing there is available space.

Priority is given to:

Pupils in catchment areas as set by the LEA
Pupils with siblings currently in the school
Pupils who have significant reasons for admission (medical, compassionate, etc.) The validity of which will be decided by the director of Educational Services.
