This school is located on Devonshire Road halfway between the residential area of Layton, and Blackpool town centre.

On 23 August 2003 the school suffered an arson attack causing £7m worth of damage.

Over fifty firefighters fought the blaze which caused extensive damage to the school building.

The building houses a roof garden with a pond and weather station on the second floor which is used for outdoor science and environmental studies.

On the ground floor the spaces are arranged off a generous cross axis with a curvy blue library at one end and yellow ‘custard area’ and hall at the other.
