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
Blackpool Aspire Academy has the motto: “Success, nothing less!” We strive to ensure all students achieve their potential in a stimulating learning environment. Aspire is built on the corner stones of being Ready, Respectful and Safe. Our students are happy at school and as can be seen by their outstanding attendance, behaviour and rapidly improving attainment.
Students are encouraged to ‘get involved’ 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 at the centre of every decision the school makes. They develop warm and caring relationships with staff, who want to give the students the best start in life”. 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”.
Aspire Academy is fantastic school to work in and opportunities, due to high staff retention rates, do not come about very often. We recommend that you visit the school during the school day to see it in operation, meet the team and our fabulous students.
