Ofsted Reports

Blackpool Skills Academy successfully completed the Ofsted pre-registration process and was approved to open as an Independent School.

During the pre-registration inspection process, Ofsted determined that Blackpool Skills Academy was likely to meet the Independent School Standards required for registration. This enabled the school to be formally registered by the Department for Education and begin admitting students.

Parent View

Ofsted's Parent View gives parents and carers the opportunity to share their views about Blackpool Skills Academy.

Parent View asks for feedback on a range of important aspects of school life, including:

  • Whether your child is happy at school
  • Whether your child feels safe
  • How well the school manages behaviour and bullying
  • How effectively the school supports students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
  • The quality of teaching, learning and communication
  • Whether you would recommend the school to another parent

Parent feedback is an important part of the inspection process and helps both Ofsted and the school understand the experiences of families.
