      History




      = Grammar school

      =
      The college officially began life as Upholland Grammar School, which was founded in 1661, initially opened on School Lane, Up Holland. The grammar school later moved to the Ox House Heyes Estate on Oxhouse Road in 1878, now the present-day site of Up Holland High School. The grammar school moved to its present site on Winstanley Road in Billinge Higher End in September 1953. It had 600 boys and girls in the 1960s and had 750 by 1976. During World War II the grammar school had its own Air Cadet Squadron – 1439 (Beacon) squadron with the headmaster Alfred Maggs BA MSc as the first commanding officer (Flt Lt A. Maggs RAFVR(T)).


      = Sixth form college

      =

      It was renamed Winstanley College in August 1977, and at that time, it ceased to enrol new pupils at age 11, gradually becoming a sixth form college. By September 1981, no pupils remained in the lower forms, and the transformation to a sixth-form college was complete. In 1995 the college was inspected by the Further Education Funding Council, where it was awarded Grades 1 and 2 in most categories, having been awarded a Grade 3 in accommodation. In 1999 the College was reinspected by the FEFC where the college received Grade 1s in most areas, except in the areas of General Resources, where it was awarded a Grade 2, and Governance, where it was awarded a Grade 3. Following the abolition of the Further Education Funding Council in 2000, the college was inspected by Ofsted for the first time in 2004 and it received an outstanding award, the highest award available from an Ofsted inspection, and following reinspection in 2007, the college would again receive an Outstanding award. In early 2009, plans were unveiled for an extensive redevelopment of the grounds, which was subsequently put to the Learning & Skills Council for approval. In mid-2009 the project was shelved for lack of grant funding. Since that time the college has redeveloped the 1950s buildings by replacing its flat roofs, the music block was replaced with a £3m building for media and performing arts which was completed in 2012. A replacement library block and new accommodation for physical sciences and biology, along with a refurbishment of the maths building was completed in 2014. In March 2019, a new social sciences building was opened, home to sociology, psychology, health and social care. The college was reinspected in 2020, and it received a good award.
