On behalf of the Boards of Cheshire College South & West and Macclesfield College, we are proud to embark on a journey to create a single, merged college that will serve our region and its communities. This proposed merger offers a unique opportunity to unite two complementary institutions, enhancing the quality and breadth of education and vocational training for both young people and adults. 

By combining our strengths, we aim to deliver the most inclusive and comprehensive post-16 offer, supporting learners to achieve their ambitions and contributing to the prosperity of our wider communities. As Chairs’ of these colleges, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of excellence while expanding our capacity to meet the evolving needs of learners and industry partners. 

We would like to thank all stakeholders who participated in the consultation and shared their views, ideas and aspirations. Your feedback has played an important role in informing our plans and helping to shape our shared vision: Stronger Together. The Outcome Report provides a summary of the consultation findings and the next steps in the process.
