Greenhead College is situated on a welcoming and attractive campus close to Huddersfield town centre, adjacent to the picturesque Greenhead Park. We are just a short drive from the M62 and within walking distance of both the train and bus stations, making the College highly accessible for applicants from across the Northwest and Yorkshire.

Approximately 2900 students attend the College studying predominantly A Level courses across 35 subjects. The academic structure of the College is based on Heads of Curriculum who are subject specialists. The College also maintains a unique tutorial system, with all Personal Tutors being fully qualified teachers, highly experienced in pastoral care, careers guidance and trained in Mental Health First Aid. Alongside their academic studies, students benefit from a rich extra-curricular enrichment offer and a wide range of project and work placement opportunities through our Step Into Your Future scheme.

Our commitment to student and staff well-being is reflected in our achievements. In July 2024, we received the Further Education Mental Health Gold Award in recognition of the comprehensive support we provide. In March 2025, OFSTED once again graded the College as ‘Outstanding’ in all six key areas, and as making a strong contribution to skills needs, identifying no areas for improvement. Most recently in April 2025, we were honoured to be named Further Education College of the Year at the Educate North Awards. These accolades highlight the dedication and high standards demonstrated by our students and staff across all roles.

The College is a great place to work, with a warm, inclusive atmosphere existing between students and staff. Our staff are recognised for their hard work and are encouraged to inspire each another, and to develop and grow. We are proud to have a strong and able College Leadership Team, and a highly experienced Board, who work collaboratively to deliver the College’s purpose and principles, and strategic priorities.

This is an exciting time to be joining us. We were one of only 50 schools and colleges nationally to receive multi-million-pound funding for a new four-storey science building, which opened in November 2023, with the final building work and landscaping completed in August 2025. We continue to invest in our facilities and have an ambitious capital investment plan spanning the next five years.
