Anchorsholme Primary School was first opened in 1967. In 2012 a major building program took place which improved the shared areas and school halls providing extensive performing arts, dance, and gymnastics facilities. 5 years later in 2017, extensive work began to expand the caretaker’s cottage on-site to incorporate two further classrooms and a full kitchen area.

Everyone in the school is encouraged to develop to his or her full academic and creative potential and to think, question, discuss and evaluate. At Anchorsholme Academy our curriculum fosters a sense of belonging and the desire for our school family to be curious, confident, communicative, and collaborative learners.

Curious – having a thirst for knowledge.
Confident – being resilient and demonstrating a growth mind-set and self-belief.
Communicative – vocabulary and interaction are the key to learning and understanding.
Collaborative – ability to work together respectfully and effectively towards a common goal.

Our intent is that children leave our school as resilient, motivated lifelong learners with high aspirations for their future.

The school caters for children between the ages of 4 and 11 years of age and there are currently approximately 617 pupils on roll.

Anchorsholme Academy is situated in a pleasant area close to the family friendly seaside town of Cleveleys to the north of Blackpool.
