Our Location:

We are situated close to the M1 and M62 motorway networks providing easy access to the towns and cities of Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Halifax, yet close enough to be able to take advantage of the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. There is a train station a 20 minute walk away with regular services to Leeds, Huddersfield and Manchester.

Our Partnership:

Westborough High School has a Trust status bringing together Westborough with our partners The University of Huddersfield, Kirklees College and Kirklees Council to form a ‘Partnership of Strengths’.

What are the benefits?

• Our trust partners all have an interest in the development and education of the wider community which mirrors Westborough’s vision and aims.
• Westborough enjoys more flexibility – We are able to set our own admissions criteria (in accordance with the admissions code), employ our own staff and have responsibility for our school land and buildings.
• We are better able to support children and young people’s all-round development, helping to tackle issues of deprivation and social exclusion
• We are better placed to develop new and existing long-term partnerships.
• We gain access to the experience and expertise of our partners.
• We benefit from strengthened governance and leadership skills.
