We already have 64 comments with most contributors thrilled that the former Arnold site (please see images of former school buildings either side of Arnold Avenue) is to be developed as a 2-16 ‘through-school’ by the Fylde Coast Academy Trust in partnership with the Education Funding Agency. Many comments offer suggestions for suitable names for the new school. These include reference to geographical location, famous former pupils, ex-headteachers, founders. Clearly the choice of naming the school is a big decision and it is receiving the highest level of consultation. ![](https://www.fcat.org.uk/images/gallery/Arnold_3.JPG)![](https://www.fcat.org.uk/images/gallery/Arnold_4.JPG)![](https://www.fcat.org.uk/images/gallery/Arnold_2.JPG) ***Please continue to leave your comments in the box below along with any suggestions of a suitable name for our new school.*** [Embedded content](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iuDO6c3WANbRwf7iG8nW3kHl9jMft-Ptde-Gj4lz9Dc/viewform?embedded=true) [ Holidays are over!](https://www.fcat.org.uk/news/2016-08-30-holidays-are-over) [New school named 'The Avenue' ](https://www.fcat.org.uk/news/2016-10-12-new-school-named-the-avenue) **Fylde Coast Academy Trust** Mereside Primary Academy Langdale Road Blackpool Lancashire FY4 4RR Tel: 01253 207709 Email: ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/FCATrust) ### Newsletter ### Translation © Copyright 2014–2026 Fylde Coast Academy Trust School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.fcat.org.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
