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 with only 30 pupils but grew throughout the year. However the school will expand over the next few years to become a full secondary school, with full intakes in September 2015 and 2016. The school's sixth form plans to open in 2019.
Operated by Chapel Street Community Schools Trust, the school plans to educate pupils within a Christian ethos, with Burnley Life Church a supporting partner. 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). The new building is scheduled to be open in Easter 2017. Its launch has been controversial as other schools in the town have hundreds of vacant places.
