Pendle Vale College

Pendle Vale College is a modern, £32 million new-build facility opened in 2008, offering second-to-none facilities for over 1,000 students and 100+ colleagues. Our state-of-the-art environment provides first-rate teaching and learning opportunities that consistently deliver good outcomes.  

Our college is made up of a team of highly committed, motivated, dedicated and professional colleagues both teaching and non-teaching, who each individually make a significant and positive difference to the lives of our students.

We are an outward-facing college that strives to learn from the best practice and research, with a modern, flexible curriculum that encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. Our story is one of continued success – Ofsted confirmed in November 2021 that Pendle Vale remains a Good school.

We know our students exceptionally well and confidently believe we meet their current and future needs. By working together, we develop happy, confident and independent learners ready for the modern world, whilst ensuring staff can realise their own ambitions and potential.

Located just five minutes from the M65, we're easily accessible from Manchester, Preston, Bradford and Huddersfield, and close to rural communities in Pendle, Colne and Skipton, with the Lake District and North Yorkshire Moors under an hour away.
