Whilst I cannot tell you the actual outcome of the inspection until the inspection report has been published, what I can tell you is that I am the very proud and happy headteacher of Educational Diversity. Staff and students pulled together to show the inspectors the strengths of our provision, and it was noted that we create a highly positive environment where children flourish.** **I can assure you that we will continue to drive improvements and ‘reach for the stars’ for our young people. Our key areas of focus will continue to be:** 1. **Embedding a highly effective phonics programme, so that our younger learners can improve their reading and literacy skills.** 2. **Embedding a high quality curriculum across the whole school. Ensuring that all our learners have access to the very best teaching and learning experiences.** 3. **Improving individual student attendance.** 4. **Embedding Zones of Regulation to encourage our students to co-regulate and then, self-regulate their behaviours.** 5. **Developing our curriculum further to offer quality enrichment activities.** **We finish this term and the academic year on Thursday 20th of July. Students will leave school at 1:30pm. If you collect your child at the end of school, please be aware of this early closure.** **We will welcome back our students after the summer holidays on Tuesday 5th September. Students should arrive at the normal start time in the full school uniform [Educational Diversity uniform](https://eddiversity.com/information/uniform)** **I wish you and your families a safe summer holiday. Please check our text messages, school website and Facebook page for updates during the holiday period.** **With kind regards,** **Victoria O’Farrell** ![](https://eddiversity.com/images/footer.PNG) Previous ### [Ofsted visit](https://eddiversity.com/news/2023-07-10-ofsted-visit) [![](https://files.schudio.com/educational-diversity-2/imagecache/100x100c/news/exams_results.jpg)](https://eddiversity.com/news/2023-07-18-year-11-exam-results-day) Next ### [Year 11 exam results day !!!](https://eddiversity.com/news/2023-07-18-year-11-exam-results-day) ##### 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/)
