Our Lady Of The Assumption

What Our Lady Of The Assumption does

Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School is a single-site Catholic primary school located on Common Edge Road in Blackpool, Lancashire, England (FY4 5DF), serving children from Reception (age 4-5) through Year 6 (age 10-11). The school operates under a Catholic ethos encapsulated by the motto 'Let your light shine' (Matthew 5:16) and the values framework of Care, Learn, Respect, delivering the National Curriculum enhanced with religious education, sacramental preparation (including First Holy Communion), and enrichment activities such as the Year 6 Waterpark residential, music (drumming), and arts. It is a Catholic maintained school under the Diocese of Lancaster and is closely affiliated with the Parish of the Guardian Angels, Blackpool, which provides liturgical support and serves as a referral channel for prospective families.

The school's instructional technology stack consists entirely of third-party, off-the-shelf educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: TT Rockstars for times tables, IXL for English and Maths SATs preparation, Learning by Questions (LbQ) for formative assessment, Bedrock Learning for literacy, Read Write Inc. (RWI) for phonics in Reception and Key Stage 1, and Logo/Coding for Carrots for introductory programming. These tools are integrated via the school website and ParentPay for homework distribution, payments, and class-level blog updates. There is no proprietary technology development, no app, and no public API.

As a state-funded institution, core tuition is government-funded through the local education authority; the school does not publish revenue figures. Supplementary income comes from a fee-based Before/After School Club (wraparound care) and voluntary parental contributions toward trips funded partly through the Parent Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA). The school is a member of the BEBCMAT Catholic schools trust and operates a community-led admissions process, with marketing primarily conducted through the parish website, school website, and weekly Wednesday Word/TenTen newsletters to enrolled families. The school also participates in trust-wide events such as the BEBCMAT Times Tables Rock Stars Super League.
