Burnley Life Church has been a supporting partner since the school's launch.[2] The school initially opened in the Parkhill Business Centre in Padiham Road, while a new building was constructed nearby 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] The school moved the three existing year-groups into the new building in April 2017, with the school's first Ofsted inspection occurring shortly after and returning a "good" rating. The first year-group received its GCSE results in 2019.[4]
