Join Team FCAT

Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT) was established

in 2012. Our trust aims to ensure first class learning opportunities for all

young people across the Fylde Coast and across Lancashire. The trust has grown

to include 10 academies with primary, secondary and all through as well as the

Central Services and School Improvement team. Our values of excellence,

integrity and resilience guide us to be the best we can be.

Learners are at the heart of what we do and their outcomes and successes are

what drive us.

As a Multi-Academy Trust we work in partnership

with educational institutions locally to foster collaboration and knowledge

sharing, which is critical to our culture of continuous improvement. Full

information about the trust and its work can be found on our website www.fcat.org.uk

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”.
