And with it coming up to World Teachers’ Day on Thursday, October 5, we thought it would be good to take a look back at those headteachers who led schools across the Blackpool area in the 1990s and 2000s.
We’ve picked out a selection of heads from primary and secondary schools.
See if these bring back memories for you – as a child, as a parent – or even as a colleague.
