Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit our school.

A warm welcome to Salendine Nook High School, a vibrant, thriving and progressive part of the Huddersfield community. As Principal, I am incredibly proud and privileged to lead a school with an excellent local reputation and where our staff team are dedicated to providing a high-performing, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all our students.

At Salendine Nook, we believe in fostering a strong sense of belonging and community. We understand that choosing the right secondary school is a significant decision, and we are confident that our school offers a place where young people can flourish academically, socially, and personally.  We are committed to maximising the progress and achievement for every student.

Our commitment to being a high-performing school is reflected in our ambitious curriculum and our dedication to academic excellence. We have high expectations for every student, and our knowledgeable, experienced and committed staff work tirelessly to support them in achieving their unique potential. We celebrate aspiration, unity, and achievement in all its forms, encouraging our students to set goals and strive for their very best.

Inclusivity and nurture are at the heart of everything we do. We are a caring school where relationships are paramount. We take the time to get to know our students as individuals, providing outstanding pastoral support to ensure their wellbeing and happiness. We believe that by creating a supportive and understanding environment, we empower our students to become resilient, confident, and engaged learners. We encourage teamwork and collaboration, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

We demand the highest standards in behaviour and attitude for all our students and support from our parents is highly valued; we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is crucial to a child's success, and we work closely with families to ensure every student is effectively supported.

As a proud member of the Heritage Multi Academy Trust, we work collaboratively with our partner primary schools in the local area. This will further embed our close working relationship and shared values of collaboration and excellence.  It will ensure a smooth and supportive transition for students joining us for the next stage of their education, building on the strong foundations established in their primary years.

We invite you to explore our website further to discover more about the rich and diverse opportunities available to our students. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you into our school family.
