What the school offers its staff
Welcome to St Kentigern’s Catholic Primary School -the oldest Catholic primary school in Blackpool. I hope our schoolwebsite will giveour parents, carers and prospective parents an insight into the life of our small, busy and friendly school.
As a Catholic school, we offer our children the opportunity to grow as young people and encourage them to develop a closer relationship with God in an atmosphere of mutual love and respect.We seek to live out the values of Jesus Christ daily, promoting them by our words and deeds. Jesus told us to “Treat others as you would like to be treated”, our school motto, and this reminds us every day to go the extra mile for the children within our care.
At St. Kentigern’s, we always put children first. We have a safe, happy environment in which children can strive to do their best at everything they are given the opportunity to do. We listen carefully to our children and allow them to influence our curriculum and their learning as much as possible. We do our best to foster within each child a desire for learning and a desire to make the right choices.
We actively encourage a high level of support from our parents, local and parish community. Children get on well at school when parents feel able to support school. At St. Kentigern’s, we try to achieve this by welcoming parents into school as much as possible to things like assemblies, progress meetings, volunteering on trips, ‘stay and play’ times and PTFA events.
Finally, we are blessed with an extremely dedicated, hardworking staff team who goabove and beyond, which is required so that children are treated as individuals who matter; receive the best possible education; enjoy learning at school with a creative, exciting, challenging curriculum; and have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sporting and extra-curricular activities.

St Kentigern’s is a one-form entry school close to the centre of Blackpool. We have inclusive practice and staff work hard to ensure that all pupils achieve their very best. We are a happy and hard-working school with families drawn from many ethnic backgrounds and many of our children enter the school with English as their second language. We pride ourselves on the progress made by all children after they enter our school.
In September 2022 we became an Academy and joined the Blessed Edward Bamber Multi Academy Trust. Our new Headteacher will join us close to the beginning of this exciting journey. We are already seeing the benefits to staff and pupils of being part of the MAT and look forward to even more advances as the MAT grows in the future.
We have extremely close ties with our parish. Catechists and parishioners work with the children in many ways encouraging the links to St Kentigern’s parish. The Local Governing Body is made up mainly of parishioners and parents with a wide range of skills, continuing the strong ties to the parish and local community.
