Educational Diversity

Educational Diversity is a pupil referral unit located in Blackpool, catering to a mixed-gender student body of 130 pupils, with a significant percentage (71.5%) eligible for free school meals. The school focuses on providing a supportive and nurturing environment tailored to the unique needs of each student, aiming to facilitate their transition back into mainstream education.

The ethos of Educational Diversity centres on inclusivity and trauma-informed practices, ensuring that every student feels valued and capable of reaching their full potential. The curriculum is designed to be adaptive, promoting personal development and resilience through collaborative work and positive enrichment opportunities. Staff are dedicated to creating a child-centred environment that fosters a sense of belonging and responsibility.

Educational Diversity operates several centres, including the Athena provision, which supports vulnerable young people through the Home and Hospital Education Service. The school is committed to empowering students and cultivating a community where both parents and staff can take pride in the educational journey provided.
