The college was established in 1973 from the sixth forms of the Salford Grammar School for Boys (which became 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.
CampusesEdit
