Blackfriars Primary School was an Australian state school established in 1884 in what is now the Sydney suburb of Chippendale.
Blackfriars Estate was part of land once owned by Solomon Levey, who died 1833.
John Tooth built his Kent Brewery nearby.
The estate was subdivided for sale to the public in 1878.
