Runshaw College

About Runshaw College

Runshaw College is a large state sixth-form college in South Ribble, Lancashire, and its headline academic metrics tell a story of solid, if unspectacular, performance when set against the local authority average for secondary schools. The college’s Progress 8 score is -0.16, which is slightly below the Lancashire average of -0.11. This places it in the 'Below average' progress banding, meaning students here, on average, make a little less academic progress between the end of GCSEs and their A-levels than their peers across the county. However, the gap is narrow, and the college’s sheer size — with 1,152 students in its most recent exam cohort — means it serves a very wide range of abilities. The headline points per entry of 34.58, equivalent to a C+ grade, is a respectable benchmark for a non-selective state provider, and the best three A-levels average of 34.75 points (also a C+) suggests a consistent middle-ground outcome for most leavers.
