History

Secondary modern school

When the school was built, Huddersfield Corporation had a trolleybus terminus built next to it, serving only for the journeys of the school's pupils. This provision was unique in the British Isles. [2]

Salendine Nook Secondary School opened in September 1956 for 600. [3] Huddersfield New College was built to the west of the site, and Huddersfield High School, a girls grammar school, was built to the east. It was part of a campus.

Work started in December 1955 by James Miller and partners of Edinburgh, costing around £233,000.

Comprehensive

Most of Huddersfield became comprehensive in 1973.

Academy

The school formally became an academy on 1 February 2012. This followed a resolution to seek academy status by the school governors at governors meeting on 6 July 2011.

School trip

The school had 25 pupils stranded in the US in April 2010; they were unable to return home due to the flying ban caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. The children and four staff went to Florida as part of a physics field trip that was scheduled to last a week but ended up over £15,000 over budget as they had to extend their stay. [4]
