Warrington and Vale Royal College
Warrington and Vale Royal College, previously known as Warrington Collegiate, is a vocational learning provider in Warrington and Winsford, Cheshire for people aged 16–19, as well as courses aimed at adult learners. The college mainly offers vocational courses, ranging from GCSE, BTECs at levels 3,4 and 5, A-Level, professional development, business courses, trade union courses and preparation of life and work after education.[1]
Merge with Mid Cheshire College
In August 2017, Warrington Collegiate and Mid Cheshire College announced that they were to merge in time for the September 2017 enrollments to form Warrington and Vale Royal College.[2] The merger led to a redesigned logo and website, though the current Warrington Campus still has some old "Warrington Collegiate" signage. As a result of the merger, the college now has two campuses; the site in Warrington and the former Mid Cheshire College site in Winsford. A third former Mid Cheshire College site in Hartford has been closed.[3]
