Ofsted Reports

As part of the registration process, Blackpool Skills Academy received a pre-registration inspection from Ofsted.

The purpose of a pre-registration inspection is to advise the Department for Education on whether a proposed independent school is likely to meet the relevant Independent School Standards if it is registered.

Parent View

Ofsted Parent View gives parents and carers the opportunity to tell Ofsted what they think about their child's school.

The survey asks parents and carers about important aspects of school life, including:

  • Whether their child is happy at school
  • Whether their child feels safe
  • Behaviour and how the school deals with bullying
  • How the school supports students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
  • Communication between the school and parents and carers
  • Whether they would recommend the school to another parent

Feedback from parents and carers provides valuable information about their experience of the School and forms part of the evidence Ofsted may consider during inspection.
