About Priestley College

Priestley College became a sixth form in 1979 and has grown in numbers and reputation ever since.

By 2009 the college had doubled in size thanks to improvements in performance, the introduction of new courses and significant investment in the campus.

Students now have the choice of over 70 A-Level, T-Level and other Vocational options with hundreds of possible combinations available.

Principal James Gresty said: “We have made great strides in recent years, but we are not a college that stands still. We are constantly looking for ways to improve in order to make the biggest difference to the most number of young people.”

There are now around 2,000 learners at Priestley with the latest investment a £1.5million technology centre that boasts more than 200 computers. The Crescent Building has also been extended to provide extra café and study space whilst our Performing Arts facilities have been modernised.

More than £15million has been invested in the campus on projects such as the Learning Resource Centre and an all-weather sports pitch.
