School history

It is believed that the land around the Carr Hill school site was originally the home of a Roman Fort around 70AD.

In 1934, the land adjacent to Carr Hill became the Carr Hill Race Course, built by Edward Sergeant. This was built in the grounds of the Carr Hill Hotel.

The course closed in 1938 when Lancashire County Council acquired land between the road and the race course.

The school was then constructed and opened in 1958 by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent (PHK).

When it was first built, it could accommodate 450 students with 19 classrooms- one science lab, a metalwork and woodwork room.

The school now has a dedicated technology block, a dedicated art block for art, music and drama.
