Burnley High School is a mixed secondary free school located in the town and Borough of Burnley, Lancashire, England. The school opened in September 2014 for 11-year-old (Year 7) pupils, but will expand over the next few years to become a full secondary school. The school's sixth form planned to open in 2019.[1]
Operated by Chapel Street Community Schools Trust, the school plans to educate pupils within a Christian ethos, with Burnley Life Church a supporting partner.[2] The school has initially opened in the Parkhill Business Centre in Padiham Road, while a new building is constructed on the site of the former Habergham High School (Burnley Grammar School). Its launch has been controversial as other schools in the town have hundreds of vacant places.[3]
