Steve Wilson, Pendle Vale Head Teacher, said: "Pendle Vale College is a brand new state-of-the-art building, established as part of the Building Schools for the Future Programme. It is one of the most modern, innovative and best equipped colleges in the country and is undoubtedly a very exciting environment in which to learn."
