About Blackpool and the Fylde College

Blackpool and the Fylde College doesn't publish a parentView recommend percentage, so it's harder to gauge how families feel about the school from that angle. What we do know is that it's a state secondary for ages 14 to 99, which makes it unusual — it's a college that takes students from Year 10 upwards, rather than a traditional 11-16 school. The school is heavily oversubscribed, which suggests local demand is strong, though the exact ratio isn't given. It's a mixed, non-religious school in Blackpool, led by headteacher Alun Francis. With no parent survey data available, the best signal of parent experience might be the fact that families are actively choosing to send their children here, despite the area having ten secondary schools in total and none of them rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
