School Atlas lists 30 state primary schools, 6 state secondary schools, 2 all-through schools, 4 special schools, 1 alternative provision school and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Blackpool. It also lists 6 independent schools and 37 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 14 have a religious character: 9 Roman Catholic and 5 Church of England.
Of the 38 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Blackpool, 12 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 1 Outstanding, 9 Good and 2 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 8 of these schools have had one.
Blackpool doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 1 school. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
