Mission, Vision and Values
With the appointment of a new Principal and Vice Principal for January 2015, it was felt that a full review of the College’s Mission and Vision was required. This was because the College and external environments had moved on significantly since the previous Mission and Vision were first adopted by the Governors in 2008 and confirmed following a review in July 2012. These were “To realise potential through inspirational teaching and learning in a wholly supportive and caring environment” and “To be recognised as an outstanding College striving for excellence.”
The review commenced with a staff survey in January 2015 and was followed by consultation with the Student College Council and the Governing Body at the Annual Seminar Governors’ Seminar in February. There then followed further consultation with staff and Governors before the new Vision and Mission were confirmed by the Governing Body on 14 May 2015.
THE COLLEGE VISION
To be the region’s leading provider of high quality educational opportunities, responding to the needs of the community we serve
THE COLLEGE MISSION
To inspire, challenge and support students to excel in learning and in life

Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 4
Rising to the challenge of National, Regional and Local Priorities
In July 2015 the government launched its productivity plan which demonstrates that while raising productivity is a global challenge there is a large and widening productivity gap between the UK and other leading advanced economies.
The government’s framework for raising productivity includes 15 key areas built around two pillars: first encouraging long term investment and secondly promoting a dynamic economy. Priestley College along with other high quality educational institutions has a key role to play in contributing to the development of a highly skilled workforce that supports the needs of the local, national and international companies in our region.
The Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Strategic and Economic Plan and Growth Plan outline four major projects that will benefit from the Local Growth Fund: The Atlantic Gateway in Cheshire The Cheshire Science Corridor The Crewe High Growth City Energy
Together they identify key areas of skills needs and development linked to long term high value job creation. These are in: Logistics/Freight Commerce Life Sciences/Big Science Digital and Creative industries Software development Telecoms Nuclear energy Scientific analysis and research Pharmaceuticals Chemical engineering Radio-astrophysics
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 5
With Priestley being the only STEM Assured Sixth Form College in the region with a track record of delivering high quality and relevant academic and technical vocational qualifications at Level 3, we are in a unique position to lead on further refinement of this provision. This is enhanced by our very strong reputation for the expertise and support we provide which ensures young people progress through both professional and technical routes via higher education and/or apprenticeships.
Priestley offers not only strong provision at Level 3 but has expertise in tackling the basic skills in English and maths at Level 2, with some many notable successes.
In recent years many young people from Priestley have progressed to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) careers and our provision will ensure a regular flow of young people that will go on to contribute to future development in the Eight Great Technologies where the UK is set to be a global leader. These are:
Data Space/satellites Robotics/automotive systems Synthetic Biology Regenerative Medicine Agri-Science Advanced Materials Energy Storage
Within Warrington, important sectors within the economy include: business and financial services, telecommunications, the nuclear and energy sector, the service sector and chemicals manufacturing.
We have and will continue to develop an offer that meets the area’s educational and economic needs in collaboration with other providers and local industry. We will also seek to support the drive to make constant efficiencies whilst not losing sight of the need for long term investment in both our infrastructure and our young people’s future.
We will continue to develop strategic partnerships with schools, universities and employers in the region for the benefit of our students and the communities we serve. The development of the Thornton Science Park by the University of Chester and the continued development of the
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 6
Daresbury Science Park are two examples of the opportunities that exist for Priestley and its students to develop coherent pathways to employment in strategically important industries.
Warrington’s Educational Priorities and Future Demands
Closing the achievement gap is a common theme in the Town’s priorities.
Based on 2013/14 validated data, gaps identified included:
Male 5 A*-C including English and Maths 48.5%, Female 63.2% Free School Meal pupils 5 A*-C including English and Maths 24.7%, non-Free School Meals 59.4% Disadvantaged 5A*-C 27.7% non-Disadvantaged 63% Level 3 achievement 30% of Free School Meals pupils achieved L3 by age 19 compared to 67% of the non-Free School Meals pupils.
Also of concern for Warrington is the net flow of students out of the Town at age 16 which is linked to the fewer high grades at A Level when compared to national and regional averages.
Warrington, in line with the region’s priorities, seeks to increase partnership with employers and to ensure the provision of more apprenticeships including a broader range of higher apprenticeships.
Within Warrington there was a significant drop in the percentage of Year 11 pupils achieving 5 GCSEs at Grades A* to C including English and Maths in 2014 when it fell from 65.7% to 55.9% mainly as a result of a fall in the GCSE pass rates in English and Maths. This drop had a significant negative impact on the recruitment of learners to Level 3 programmes at Priestley. At the same time we saw a 50% increase in recruitment to our Level 2 vocational programme and a larger than anticipated recruitment on our GCSE and pre-GCSE English and Maths programmes.
Provisional results for 2015 indicate that the Warrington Schools have seen a 2% improvement in the number of pupils achieving 5 GCSEs at Grades A* to C including English and Maths. Once again this has led to a much larger Level 2 recruitment than would have previously been anticipated.
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 7
Changes to Key Stage 4 provision in local schools is also having an impact on Post-16 recruitment with a greater emphasis on the English Baccalaureate in many schools, so despite the fall in the 5 A* to C pass rate, the percentage of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate has increased from 27.6% in 2013 to 28.8% in 2015 compared to a national rate of 23.9%.
Appendix 1 Tables 1 and 2 shows the numbers on roll in Warrington and Halton Secondary schools in October 2014. This shows that over the next two years there will be a further fall in Year 11 numbers of 166 pupils in Warrington and a static position in Halton. The Year 11 numbers in Warrington schools then start to rise again with a projected increase of 65 pupils in 2018. Meanwhile, Primary school numbers in Warrington are rising rapidly and we anticipate that by 2020 the increased numbers will begin to impact on Post-16 provision in Warrington.
Provision in Warrington and Halton is changing with the development of two Free Schools, The Kings Leadership Academy in Warrington and Sandymoor in Halton. Although numbers are low in the upper year groups the potential for them to influence the Post-16 agenda as they seek to open Sixth Forms should not be underestimated. At the same time the Warrington Future Tech Studio School opened in 2014 and is recruiting across the 14-18 age range and the Manchester Metropolitan University sponsored University Technical College (UTC) is due to open in September 2016 which will also be recruiting across the 14-18 age range.
It is however worth noting that Culcheth High School closed its Sixth Form in June 2015 and the University Academy Warrington plans to close its Sixth Form in June 2016 and both of these developments present opportunities for Priestley to forge closer working partnerships with both schools.
At this stage Priestley continues to be the dominant provider of 16-18 full time learning opportunities for Warrington residents. In 2014/15 the breakdown of Warrington 16-18 year olds in full time learning was as follows:
33.6% at Priestley 20.9% at Warrington Collegiate 7.7% at Great Sankey 6.6% at Lymm 4.4% at Carmel 3.6% at Winstanley
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 8
In 2013/14 57% of those obtaining 2 or more A Levels in Warrington attended Priestley, with 14% at both Great Sankey and Lymm and 8% attended Bridgewater. 46% of those achieving a substantial Level 3 vocational qualification attended Priestley with 35% attending Warrington Collegiate and 6% Great Sankey.
Area Reviews
In July 2015 the Government announced its intention to conduct a national review of Post 16 Education and Training Institutions starting in September 2015 through to March 2017, with the implementation of any accepted recommendations to be concluded by 2020. This was followed by the issues of detailed guidance “Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions: guidance on area reviews” in September 2015.
Priestley is committed to the principles of Area Reviews as set out on pages 10-11 of the guidance and we endorse the purpose of the reviews which should deliver:
Institutions which are financially viable, sustainable, resilient and efficient and deliver maximum value for public investment An offer that meets each area’s educational and economic needs Providers with strong reputations and greater specialisation Sufficient access to high quality and relevant education and training for all Provision which reflects changes in government funding priorities and future demand
We will work through the review process with partners and colleagues to ensure that objectives are met and that the young people and adults in our area continue to benefit from high quality, efficient, effective and responsive learning programmes.
Priestley’s Track Record
Priestley College has a strong record of pass rates at A Level and in Vocational Level 3 and Level 2 programmes, achieving a 99% A* to E pass rate at A Level for 11 successive years and a consistent 100% pass rate in BTEC Extended Diplomas and 99% pass rate in vocational Diplomas.
Performance at AS is more variable and a key priority is improvement in A to E pass rates, whilst at GCSE Maths A* to C the pass rate at 36.4% is slightly above the national re-sit pass rate with the IGCSE English A* to C pass rate being exceptionally high at 69.5%
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 9
College success rates in key lines are regularly in line with or significantly higher than those of all providers and often above the Sixth Form College average with the exception of AS where there is concern not just about pass rates but also retention rates.
2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 National SFC Rate Rate A Level 95.7 96.7 96.6 95.0 95.3 AS 79.9 81.4 79.0 80.4 82.6 L3 Certificate 81.9 75.0 87.2 85.0 87.1 L3 Diploma 89.0 92.7 92.2 86.3 88.7 L3 Other 75.8 80.3 78.4 83.2 81.3 L2 Certificate 91.3 90.7 91.5 82.3 84.9 L2 Diploma 85.8 93.3 86.0 83.3 86.3 GCSE Maths & English 90.4 85.6 90.3 85.1 89.3 L2 Other including IGCSE 52.2 87.8 86.4 75.6 80.5
The College also performs well in value added measures with the National Level 3 Value added measures showing Priestley had significantly above average value added performance in:
AS A2 BTEC Extended Diplomas
Appendix 1 Tables 3 to 8 give details of Priestley’s cohort size and performance compared to other Post-16 providers in Warrington and with other leading providers in the region including those in the 5 Colleges Consortium.
Within Warrington numbers of 16-18 year old in full time education remained relatively stable with the exception of Warrington Collegiate where student numbers fell by 230 between 2012/13 and 2013/14. Across the region most colleges saw numbers grow slightly with the exception of KGV Southport, which lost 320 students, Salford City lost 465 and South Cheshire almost 100 with Loreto College growing by 402 students.
Priestley College – Strategic Plan: Twenty-Twenty 10
Priestley had the second highest average points score per A Level entry in Warrington in 2013/14 at 206.5 compared to a national average for the state sector of 211.2. The best performing local colleges were Loreto with a score of 221.5, South Cheshire with 221.3 and Winstanley at 216.6.
The average points score per vocational entry for Priestley was 222.4, the third highest in Warrington, whilst the best performing colleges we compare ourselves with were Blackpool Sixth Form College with 248.6, KGV at 246.6 and Riverside with 243.1.
Strategic Objectives
The three strategic objectives were formulated during and immediately following the Governors’ Seminar in February 2015 based on discussions with staff, governors and students. The key priorities for action have been worked up in the following months and take into account both local and national developments. Key priorities for action are identified and the attached annual operational plan sets out the key action points for the next twelve months.
