PEMBEC High School (Pemberton Business and Enterprise College) was a state school in the Pemberton district of Wigan, Greater Manchester, with Business and Enterprise College status.
The school had a "Gifted and Talented" programme that had given it its highest number of pupils with A and A*s at GCSE.
PEMBEC was closed in August 2011, and the site was re-named 'Central Park'. Ran by the Wigan Warriors rugby league club, Central Park offered vocational training and further education programmes for 14-19-year-olds. The provision also offered extensive facilities to be used by the local community as well as new headquarters for the club, a sophisticated base for the Warriors' Community and Foundation operations and a Centre of Excellence for the highly reputed Wigan Warriors' Youth Development Programme.
In 2023, Wigan Council began to demolish the site, with plans to use the site to create a new home for Hope School, a SEND school currently based in Kelvin Grove, Wigan.
