Bispham High School Arts College was a secondary school situated in Bispham, Blackpool, Lancashire, England, with a mixed intake of both boys and girls aged 11–16. It was replaced with Blackpool Aspire Academy in 2014.
Bispham High School was formerly an all-girls' school, founded in the 1950s.
Bispham was initially called Arnold High School for Girls, a girls' grammar school, having been split from local public school Arnold School by the local council. Arnold Girls' amalgamated with local girls' secondary modern Claremont to become Arnold-Claremont in 1975, before changing its name to Greenlands (grey and gold uniform, 6th form wore bottle green uniform) in 1976. The school had an 11-18 age range until 1989, when Blackpool Council separated from Lancashire County Council and moved A Levels to Blackpool Sixth Form College.
The school became Bispham High School (navy blue and yellow uniform), a co-educational secondary school, a specialist Performing Arts College and a Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts in 2000. At the last arts college redesignation, the school was judged exceptional in every criterion.
