Active Blackpool Communities: Secondary School of The Year 2026
Park Community Academy (PCA) is celebrating a major local victory after being named 'Secondary School of the Year' at the 2026 Active Blackpool Community Awards. The prestigious accolade recognises the academy’s unwavering commitment to providing students with exceptional opportunities to stay active, alongside promoting a balanced, inclusive approach to education and physical wellbeing.
The award serves as a testament to the dedication of PCA’s staff and the infectious enthusiasm of its pupils. As a proud member of The Sea View Trust, the academy has consistently placed physical activity and positive mental health at the heart of daily school life. Staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that all pupils are encouraged to participate in inclusive sports, build confidence, and develop lasting healthy habits that extend far beyond the classroom.
Reflecting on the achievement, the PCA team extended their heartfelt thanks to Active Blackpool for an inspiring evening that champions local success. This recognition not only celebrates the hard work happening within the academy every day, but also highlights the profoundly positive impact that community-focused wellbeing programmes have on the health, happiness, and futures of the whole school community.
