Priestley College’s mission is to inspire, challenge and support young people to ensure they excel both in learning and in life.

As a founder member of The Challenge Academy Trust the College is part of TCAT’s aim to deliver a cohesive education pathway from primary through to sixth form.

We are a friendly and inclusive college with a consistent record of high achievement, offering around 70 A-Level, Vocational and T-Level courses.

Priestley students have a consistent record of achieving a pass rate of 99% or better in A-Levels and each year around 30 A-Levels see a 100% success rate. Similar accolades are secured in Vocational subjects and in T-Levels.

The quality of education we provide in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths was recognised when we became the first dedicated sixth form in the country to receive STEM-assured status.

Priestley was one of first colleges in the country to provide T-Levels and we also boast the UK’s first dual rugby academy acknowledging the level of coaching received by both girls and boys.

There are now more than 2,000 students at Priestley who learn on a modern campus that we are constantly looking to improve. Priestley is not a college that stands still. All tutors and staff constantly look for ways to improve in order to make the biggest difference to the highest number of young people.
