We study a block spin mean-field Ising model, i.e. a model of spins in which the vertices are divided into a finite number of blocks with each block having a fixed proportion of vertices, and where pair interactions are given according to their blocks. For the vector of block magnetizations we prove Large Deviation Principles and Central Limit Theorems under general assumptions for the block interaction matrix. Using the exchangeable pair approach of Stein's method we establish a rate of convergence in the Central Limit Theorem for the block magnetization vector in the high temperature regime.
