Summary

St Joseph's Park Hill School, located in Burnley, Lancashire, was an independent mixed school catering to 121 pupils with a capacity for 131. The school was known for its commitment to providing a supportive and nurturing environment, fostering the development of children across various age groups. It aimed to maintain high educational standards and offered a curriculum designed to meet the diverse needs of its students.

Despite the dedication of staff, governors, and the community, St Joseph's Park Hill School faced significant challenges that ultimately led to its closure at the end of the summer term in July 2025. A consultation period explored various options to secure the school's future, but none were viable in maintaining the quality of education expected by parents and the obligations of its charitable status.

The closure marks the end of an era for the school, which has positively impacted generations of children and contributed to the local community. The trustees expressed gratitude to all who supported the school during its final months and encouraged any enquiries to be directed to the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy.
