About Salendine Nook High School Academy

Salendine Nook High School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational secondary 11-16 school situated in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

Attainment in entry is higher than average in all year groups. Over half of the students on roll come to us with high prior attainment based upon Key Stage 2 SATs. Our students generally arrive with high levels of literacy and numeracy. This means that expectations are high in terms of expected progress over the five years of secondary education. The parent body is also generally very supportive. We are a larger than average secondary school providing approximately 1350 places for students. The school is oversubscribed in all year groups.

The school converted to academy status in February 2012. It is sponsored by a single-academy trust called the Salendine Nook Academy Trust.

Ofsted

The school is currently rated as 'Good' in Ofsted terms, having been inspected in December 2019 under the new framework. We are certainly not complacent and plans are in place to build upon our positive Ofsted judgement in our drive towards outstanding provision over the next few years.
