Our Mission
To transform the lives of young people through inclusive, high-quality education that removes barriers to learning, raises aspirations and enables every pupil to achieve their full potential.
We will do this by:
Providing a safe, nurturing and supportive learning environment where every pupil feels valued and respected.
Delivering personalised learning pathways that meet individual needs and strengths.
Promoting positive behaviour, emotional wellbeing and personal development.
Developing resilience, confidence and independence to prepare pupils for their next steps in education, employment and life.
Building strong partnerships with families, schools, local authorities and external agencies to support successful outcomes.
Encouraging attendance, engagement and a sense of belonging within the school community.
Raising aspirations and helping pupils realise their ambitions through meaningful learning experiences.
School Vision
Our vision is for BFC School to be a centre of excellence, providing exceptional educational opportunities for young people who may find mainstream education challenging.
We are committed to creating an environment where every pupil is understood, supported and inspired to succeed. Through high expectations, personalised support and an ambitious curriculum, we will empower pupils to overcome barriers, re-engage with learning and develop the skills, knowledge and character needed to thrive in modern society.
Working in partnership with families, referring schools, local authorities and community organisations, we will continue to strengthen our reputation as a trusted provision that improves life chances, supports successful transitions and delivers positive long-term outcomes for some of Blackpool’s most vulnerable young people.
Location
The School is at Blackpool FC’s Stadium on Bloomfield Road in a purpose-built facility, designated to the school, in the North Stand area of the Stadium.
Why Choose the BFC School?
Blackpool FC Community Trust has a first-class record and reputation for its pioneering and life changing provisions across Blackpool. The charity operates an Alternate Provision School as part of an ambitious £3.5m education, sport and community facility in Blackpool.
The BFC School welcomes and caters for students aged 14-16 years of age who are experiencing challenges in mainstream education. During their time in our care, our team will create individual and innovative learning programmes that are as unique as each student and designed to inspire and re-engage each young person. This offer will build on the excellent experience BFCCT has already acquired in working on a shorter provision for students from various schools. The school takes a holistic approach to meeting each student’s individual education, personal development and wellbeing needs.
