Located on Winwick Road, Warrington, England, as well as with campuses in Hartford and Winsford, the college mainly offers vocational courses, ranging from GCSE, BTECs at levels 3,4 and 5, A-Level, professional development, business courses, trade union courses and preparation of life and work after education[1].

Merge with Mid Cheshire College

In August 2017, Warrington Collegiate and Mid Cheshire College announced that they were to merge in time for the September 2017 enrollments to form Warrington and Vale Royal College[2]. The merger led to a redesigned logo and website, though the current Warrington Campus still has some old "Warrington Collegiate" signage. As a result of the merger, the college now has 3 campuses; the site in Warrington, a site in Hartford, and a site in Winsford.
