Huddersfield New College

Huddersfield New College is a former grammar school and current sixth form college located in the large town of Huddersfield, in the English county of West Yorkshire.

The college was founded in 1958 when Huddersfield College was merged with Hillhouse Technical School to form a new boys grammar school at a new campus at Salendine Nook, high in the Pennines above the town. The last admission of 11-year olds was in the 1970s, and the college then began a gradual transition from a boys only grammar school to a co-educational sixth form college.

More recently, the eastern half of the original 1958 built building has been demolished, and replaced with a modern construction grafted onto the remaining half of the original building.
