Blackpool School Catchment Areas

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Blackpool has 51 schools — 30 primary and 6 secondary — spread across its towns and areas.

The busiest areas for schools are Blackpool and Thornton-Cleveleys, which together account for the majority of pupil places in the authority.

Around 27% of schools in Blackpool have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
