Across our two sites, Pegasus (Bathurst Avenue) and Athena (Whitegate Drive), we provide a safe, nurturing, and ambitious learning environment. Our dedicated team of professionals helps each young person rediscover their confidence, re-engage with learning and prepare for life beyond school. ### Our mission is simple: “To empower every young person to thrive and flourish.” ### Why We Need You Our young people are talented, creative and capable but they often lack the opportunities to experience real-world work and to see what success looks like beyond the classroom. Local employers play a vital role in helping them: - See what’s possible through workplace visits, talks, or demonstrations - Gain hands-on experience through work tasters, placements or volunteering - Build aspirations by connecting learning to real careers and skills - Grow in confidence by meeting positive role models who believe in them When local businesses invest in our young people, they help build a stronger, more skilled, more resilient Blackpool. ### Ways to Get Involved - Host a workplace visit or tour - Offer a short work placement or job shadowing opportunity - Come in to deliver a careers talk or skills workshop - Partner with us on a community or vocational project - Help us shape our curriculum links to industry needs Even a small contribution can make a big difference. ### Join Us By working with Educational Diversity, you’ll be empowering young people to see their potential, build their skills and take their next steps with confidence. ### *Together, we can ensure every child has the chance to thrive and flourish.* ##### Location Bathurst Avenue Blackpool FY3 7RJ ##### Contact Us 01253 476660 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EducationalDiversityPRU) - [X](https://mobile.twitter.com/BlackpoolPRU) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/educationaldiversity/?hl=en) © Copyright 2025–2026 Educational Diversity – [View Privacy Notice](https://eddiversity.com/information/privacy-notice) School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://eddiversity.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
