History
Unity College has recently been successfully redesignated as a College specialising in English and the Arts. The College initially occupied the former Towneley High School, but moved to a state of the art new £33m building in September 2010 as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme.
The 20th January 2011 edition of Question Time was broadcast from Unity College, with some pupils in the audience. The panel featured PFA chairman and Burnley FC captain Clarke Carlisle, Conservative Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman, former Respect MP George Galloway, former communications director to the Prime Minister Alastair Campbell, and Lib Dem Deputy Leader Simon Hughes.
