About Aspire Academy

Blackpool Aspire Academy opened in 2014 after Bispham High School and Collegiate High School merged together. The school moved into its current building in 2015, and shares an entrance with Highfurlong School. The FCAT (Fylde Coast Academy Trust) sponsor the school.

Blackpool Aspire Academy has the motto: “Success, nothing less!” It hopes that all pupils aspire to achieve their potential in a stimulating learning environment. The school follows six core values under the acronym ASPIRE: achievement and attainment, success, progress, inspiration, resilience and enriched opportunities. Being a kind and considerate member of the school’s community is vital and pupils are taught to be sensitive to other people’s feelings.

Students are encouraged to follow their goals and many extra-curricular activities are organised to help pursue new interests and develop skills. Learning opportunities are extended outside the classroom with a range of academic clubs.

Ofsted - “Pupils are prepared to progress to the next stage of education, training or employment. There is a comprehensive careers strategy in place that focuses on raising pupils’ future aspirations when they leave school. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills, including pupil parliament representatives in each year group, and these help prepare them well for the future. Since the school opened, the number of pupils who have not moved on to education, employment and training has significantly reduced”.
