Exam League Tables

The 2011 examination league tables published by the Department for Education in January 2012 show Runshaw to be the best performing college in the country.

At Runshaw, we will never make students do qualifications that they do not need or do not want, solely to raise our position in the “points per student” table.

To gain a place at the best universities, it is much better to have 3 good grades than 5 mediocre ones. The 2011 league tables show that: 

• our advanced level students get better grades than students at any other college in England, except one (Hill’s Road College in Cambridge is first)
• our advanced level students get better grades than at all other schools and colleges in Lancashire, including all of the independent schools and grammar schools

“Achievements  are outstanding: this places the college at the top of national performance tables.” - OFSTED

Northern Schools and colleges - Average point score per exam entry

We are delighted for these young people, our class of 2011, and we send them all our warmest congratulations. If there was a performance table for delightful, caring people, Runshaw students would top that too!
