Extra places are due to be provided at schools in Burnley after plans were rubber-stamped by Lancashire County Council s cabinet. Discussions took place over a temporary increase in the number of students admitted to Blessed Trinity Roman Catholic College School, from 250 to 280, and Burnley High School, from 120 to 130 places for the 2021/22 academic year. There also was a need to create extra places for one year only due to a large number of primary school year groups moving through to secondary schools, and the loss of secondary school places in Burnley due to the closure of Hameldon Community College. The cabinet agreed to the increase in admissions, along with proposals for improvements to facilities at both schools to accommodate the extra students.
