About Runshaw College
Established in 1974, Runshaw College has come a long way from its modest beginnings as a Sixth Form College with just 450 students. Over the past five decades, we’ve transformed into a comprehensive Tertiary College, now serving over 5,000 learners. Our growth is a testament to our commitment to education and student success.
At Runshaw, we’ve earned a national reputation for excellence in teaching and learning. As the only college in the country to have won the European Quality Award for Excellence, we take immense pride in our achievements. Our dedication to student needs drives everything we do.
We proudly offer an extensive selection of over 40 subjects, positioning us as one of the leading providers of A-Level courses in the country. In addition to A-Levels, we provide a diverse range of vocational courses from Entry Level to Level 3. By partnering closely with local employers, we also offer numerous apprenticeships, ensuring our students acquire practical skills and valuable real-world experience.
Our students consistently achieve outstanding outcomes. From prestigious destinations like Oxford and Cambridge Universities to careers in Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, and renowned conservatoires. These achievements are a testament to their hard work and reinforce our belief that a supportive environment for both students and staff encourages individuals to thrive.
Our commitment extends beyond the classroom. We actively engage with employers, co-creating an agile curriculum that addresses skills shortages. Together, we’re shaping a highly skilled, employable workforce for the future.
Located in Leyland, we serve students from across Lancashire. With excellent transport links—including major motorways like the M6, M61, M65, and A59—we’re within easy commuting distance of Manchester, Liverpool, and the Lake District.
