The nursery provision at Whittlefield Community Primary School is set to wind down after numbers dropped off
A nursery class in a Burnley school could be scrapped by the end of the year after pupil numbers halved. A public consultation will begin in September into plans to close the nursery facilities at Whittlefield Community Primary School.
A report presented to cabinet members revealed that there were 49 children attending the Whittlefield nursery as recently as the 2020/21 academic year, split across morning and afternoon sessions. However, this year, that figure has fallen to 25 – and so far only five applications have been made for places in the nursery class in 2025/26.
