We are looking forward to the new academic year. Please check the return date of your child.

We look forward to welcoming prospective families to our Open Evening on Thursday 24 September between 5.00 - 8.30pm.

Congratulations to all our year 11 pupils on their GCSE examination results; they should be extremely proud that their hard work and determination has paid off.
Early indications show that our 2026 GCSE results are the best ever for the school for a fourth consecutive year!
A big thank you to our hardworking and dedicated teachers, support staff and parents / carers who collectively have worked to ensure that all pupils achieve the very best exam grades possible.

🪂 IT'S NEARLY TIME...! Just three days to go!😱💙

This Friday, 21st August, Sharon, Jessica and Danielle will be taking the leap – quite literally! – as they take to the skies for the Ynot Aspire charity skydive.

The excitement is building... but so are the nerves! 😬

Sharon has promised she's not going to change her mind...

Jessica is trying to stay calm...

And Danielle is probably wondering exactly what she's let herself in for! 😂🪂

But behind all the nerves and excitement is something really important – raising vital funds to support local young people. 💙

Every donation helps Ynot Aspire continue providing mental health support, mentoring, early intervention and opportunities that help young people build confidence, resilience and brighter futures.

🙏 A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We've been incredibly grateful for your support.

But with just 3 days to go, there's still time to help us raise even more!

Whether it's £5, £10 or whatever you can spare, every single donation makes a difference.

Wish Sharon, Jessica and Danielle luck in the comments! 🍀💙

Let's help them reach new heights for Ynot Aspire! 🪂✨

Mount Carmel library organised two trips for pupils towards the end of the summer term.

Pupils and staff went on the train to UCLAN in Preston for the Lancashire Book of the Year 2026 awards and attended a Q&A session given by 4 of the authors from the book selection that we were judging as a shadow school. The winner was announced as Ravena Guron author of Mondays are Murder and This Book Kills. We then got to meet the authors and get copies of their books signed.

Then, the annual rewards trip for our top 12 pupil millionaire readers trip went to Waterstones in Blackburn where they all received a £10 book voucher to spend on books and then went to McDonalds for lunch. It was a great day out and pupils loved selecting books.

Well done to them all.

The following pupils have been selected from the draw and are the Starbooks draw winners for this term.
⭐ Kaison W
⭐ Soren A
⭐ Jessica F
Congratulations to them.
