Pendleton College was a sixth form college in Pendleton, Salford, Greater Manchester, England. It was established in 1973 and merged with Salford College and Eccles College to form Salford City College in 2009.

History

The college was established in 1973 from the sixth forms of the Salford Grammar School for Boys (whose buildings were re-used for Buile Hill High School) and Pendleton High School for Girls. In 1997, Pendleton combined with the close-by De La Salle Sixth Form College (a former direct grant grammar school). People from all over the Salford and Manchester area attend the college. Over the years, it has received a number of national awards for academic achievement. In September 2007, the 260-seat Eccleston Theatre was named after Salford's Christopher Eccleston. It received A-level results similar to Eccles College.

Campuses

It had three campuses:

  • Sitec Centre — Netherland Street, Weaste; near the start of the M602, between Eccles New Road (A57) and Broadway (A5186).
  • Pendleton Centre – Dronfield Road.
  • De La Salle Centre – Weaste Lane (B5228); near the junction with Eccles Old Road (A576). A former grammar school, this campus closed at the end of the 2011/2012 academic year and the buildings were demolished in late 2013.

2009 merger

On 1 January 2009, it merged with Salford College and Eccles College to form Salford City College.

Prime Minister's Global Fellowship

The school had its first two students attain places on the prestigious Prime Minister's Global Fellowship programme in 2009.
