Blundell Elementary—History and Context

Blundell Elementary school opened in 1954 and is located on Blundell Road between No. 2 Road and Gilbert Road. It received its name from the nearby interurban Blundell Station and, of course, from the road on which it is located. T. Blundell-Brown was an employee with the British Columbia Electric Interurban Company.

Blundell Elementary is now home to over 240 students having grown by about 50 students in 2023. Our school is made up of a diverse community from a multitude of cultural backgrounds.  Blundell is also home to a district-based program, Richmond Schools Program. This program partners with Vancouver Coastal Health and The Richmond School Board to provide support for families and students.  

Blundell is a closely connected community where staff are committed to upholding an inclusive and supportive environment for our students and their families.  We have a small and very dedicated Parent Advisory Committee that works collaboratively to support our community through a variety of regular activities.
