Blackburn Central High School is a co-educational secondary school located in Blackburn, Lancashire.[1]

Construction of the new school site was funded by the Building Schools for the Future programme.[2] Previously a foundation school administered by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, in October 2019 Blackburn Central High School converted to academy status and is now sponsored by the Champion Education Trust.
