When does your school return?

A large majority of students return to school this week across Blackpool.

Following a busy six week summer holiday, most primary and secondary school's return this week for the start of the new academic year. Find out below when your child's school is due to go back.

Some schools across the country have been prevented from opening their doors due fears over a type of concrete used in some buildings. RAAC concrete was found to be used in some schools and following a ceiling collapse at a Primary school in 2018, and it was revealed more than 150 schools across the country identified RAAC. 

Blackpool Council has insisted all of it's schools will return but Bispham Endowed has taken the precaution to close it's school hall.
