Trust Partners
In April 2010, Palatine changed its status and became a Trust school. This change of status allows Palatine to form formal partnerships with organisations to support the school.
With support of our new Trust partners, there is every reason to be optimistic that Palatine will meet its targets and most importantly enhance the life chances of our fantastic students.
At Palatine we have been fortunate to aquire seven Trust Partners. They are
- Blackpool and the Fylde College (Lead Partner) - Ms Pauline Waterhouse and Mr Stephen Lamley
- Blackpool Sixth Form College - Ms Felicity Grieves
- Blackpool FC - Mr Gavin Steele
- Local Authority - Mrs Sue Harrison
- NHS Blackpool - Mrs Wendy Swift
- Palatine Pyramid - Mr Michael Shepherd
