Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision and you may find it helpful to find out why other parents/carers have chosen Burnley High School  for their child:

“My daughter and I are really excited about Burnley High School because it offers the standard of teaching and facilities you would only expect to enjoy in a private school environment. ”
Claire G

“The area I live in is small and there were mixed feelings about free schools alongside lots of gossip and opinions. We didn’t know anyone else who might be enrolling at the school so I decided to find out for myself what a free school was. This involved lots of research on the web as no one I spoke to in the area had experience of them. I arranged a taster day at the school for my son. The minute I met the staff I was put at ease; friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic about their school were just some of the qualities I noticed. My son left that day with the biggest smile and a weight lifted off both our shoulders as he told me he was 100% going to BHS (even though he knew no one).

“My child is not just a number, he is known by each member of staff.  The school is part of our extended family and the staff play a huge part in my son’s development and learning.”
Mrs M

“We chose this school for our son as it comes across as a school and not a business. We feel the staff are excited to be teaching at this school and we feel more than happy that the teachers will be qualified to a high standard.”

“Every child is treated as an individual”
Mrs B

“My daughter will benefit from going to Burnley High School to learn how to be a self-confident student who will learn to have the skills and knowledge she need to succeed in life. I also like that she will personally develop throughout her time at Burnley High School. I really like the fact the families will also be involved in the school.  Amelia is a very bright girl who has done well throughout primary school; she represented her school in the pupil parliament for a year and half and I want her so be able to carry on doing well – that’s why I think she would benefit going to Burnley High School.”
