Runshaw, in Leyland, which is accessible from across the North West including close transport links to Bolton and Chorley, is ready to welcome the next generation of students when they pick up their exam results in August.

They could end up joining the likes of Bafta-winning actor Joe Gilgun – Emmerdale’s Eli Dingle; renowned musician Lloyd Cole; Chorley-born Michelin-star chef Mark Birchall; Olympic bronze medallist pole-vaulter Holly Bradshaw or actor and comedian John Thompson from Cold Feet and Coronation Street, all inspirational and exceptional former alumni.
