Aquinas College is a Roman Catholic sixth form college in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. The college offers a range of Level 2 and Level 3 courses including GCSEs, A-Levels, and other vocational courses such as BTECs and T-levels[1].

History
The college was established in 1980 by the Diocese of Shrewsbury and is named after St. Thomas Aquinas.[3] The college was opened on the site of St. Michael's Secondary School.[4]
Ambrose Smith was the college principal from 1989 to 2011.[5] During his tenure the college was so popular among school leavers in the Stockport area that it received twice as many applications as there were places.[6] During this time the college expanded from 400 to 2000 students.[5] In 2010 a new main building was opened.[5] In 2011 Danny Pearson succeeded Ambrose Smith as principal.[5][7]
The College was rated as "Good" at its most recent Ofsted inspection, which was carried out in 2023.[8]
