Bispham High School Arts College

Résumé
Bispham High School Arts College was a secondary school situated in Bispham, Blackpool, Lancashire, England, with a mixed intake of both boys and girls aged 11–16. It was replaced with Blackpool Aspire Academy in 2014. Bispham High School was formerly an all girls' school, founded in the 1950s. Bispham was initially called Arnold High School for Girls, a girls' grammar school, having been split from local public school Arnold School by the local council. Arnold Girls' amalgamated with local girls' secondary modern Claremont to become Arnold-Claremont in 1975, before changing its name to Greenlands (grey and gold uniform, 6th form wore bottle green uniform) in 1976. The school had an 11 to 18 age range until 1989, when Blackpool Council separated from Lancashire County Council and moved A Levels to Blackpool Sixth Form College. The school became Bispham High School (navy blue and yellow uniform), a co educational secondary school, a specialist Performing Arts College and a Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts in 2000. At the last arts college redesignation, the school was judged exceptional in every criterion. Plans to merge Bispham and Collegiate High School were under discussion from 2012 to 2014. The new merged school (named Blackpool Aspire Academy) was formally created in September 2014, and is sponsored by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust. The school was temporarily housed at the former Bispham High School campus, but has now been relocated to new buildings at the Collegiate site during November 2015. In 2011, 86% of the school's students achieved a GCSE equivalent pass rate of five or more A to C grades. This was the best result in the school's history. The school was acknowledged by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust at that point as one of the country's most improved schools. The final two percentages (2013 and 2014) for GCSE 5 A-Cs including English and Maths (the new government measure) were 47% and 43%. The school held the ICT Mark, the Eco Silver Award, the Geography Quality Mark and the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust's Cultural Diversity Quality Standard Gold Award.
