What St Kentigern's Catholic Primary School does

St Kentigern's Catholic Primary School is a state-funded Catholic primary school located on Newton Drive, Blackpool, FY3 8BT, England, and self-identifies as the oldest Catholic primary school in Blackpool. The school delivers a full National Curriculum across Reception through Year 6 (ages 4–11), with a Catholic religious education programme integrated throughout, and supplements core subjects with Design Technology, History, Geography, Art, Computing, Physical Education, Music, PSHE & HRE, and Personal Development. Support services include SEND and inclusion provision coordinated by a SENCO/DSL (Mrs S Brooks), wraparound care for working families, family support (Mrs Long), safeguarding programmes (including NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe), and a School of Sanctuary initiative for refugee and asylum-seeking families. Communication with parents is handled through a website, Parent View surveys, absence reporting, and Microsoft Sway-based newsletters, with calendar subscriptions available via Google Calendar, Outlook, and WebCal.

The school is operationally a member of the Blessed Edward Bamber Catholic Multi Academy Trust (BEBCMAT, Company No. 9111449), a multi-academy trust registered at 154 High Cross Road, Poulton-le-Fylde, FY6 8DA, under CEO Mrs Helen O'Neill. BEBCMAT provides governance, shared educational standards, staff well-being programmes, and a Trust-wide media enquiries channel ([email protected]). Day-to-day leadership rests with Headteacher Mrs C Murray, supported by Office Manager Mrs S Sobrino and the named SENCO and Family Support leads. The school employs 6 listed staff (likely office/administrative roles within the provided dataset, with additional teaching and support staff under MAT employment not enumerated here).

As a UK state-funded academy, the school does not sell to commercial customers; its "customers" are the families it serves. Revenue is not publicly disclosed but is principally derived from per-pupil government funding channelled through BEBCMAT, supplemented by modest wraparound care fees and parental contributions. Marketing and admissions are conducted locally through the school website, parish community channels, direct enquiry (01253 393302, [email protected]), and school events rather than through paid acquisition or external distribution partners.
