Kirklees College is a uniquely vocational college whose student community reflects the diversity of the local area. We offer inspirational teaching in industry standard, state-of-the-art facilities and ensure curriculum is developed with employers to enable students to progress. Our mission is creating opportunities, changing lives and this is at the heart of everything we do. The college has a common set of values for both students and staff: Kindness, Unity and Excellence, and they define how we behave and interact with each other. At Kirklees College we aim to foster an honest and compassionate approach to ourselves, our people and environment, develop a shared purpose across our community, and set a culture of high aspiration, expectation and success. We strive to be ahead of the curve in our approach to teaching and learning and be a first-choice provider for students and industry alike. With over 10,000 students on full-time and part-time courses, and apprenticeships, we provide seven bespoke centres across the Kirklees region, from two main centres based in Dewsbury and Huddersfield, and dedicated learning centres for Animal Care, Construction, Engineering, Process Manufacturing and Higher Education.

Our secondary school in Leeds is for 11-18 year old students. Our outstanding sixth form welcomes students from our school and new students from the surrounding areas. We firmly believe in opportunity and achievement for all and are proud to provide a first class education which aims to equip all students with the confidence, competence, knowledge, skills and understanding to fit easily and actively into a rapidly changing society. We aim to ensure that all students enjoy learning and achieve their potential, not only in their studies but also in sporting, creative and practical endeavours. We encourage hard work, courtesy, good behaviour and service to our community. We provide many opportunities to develop these attributes both inside and outside of the classroom. This is a good school. Ofsted described the majority of aspects of school life as ‘outstanding’, ‘excellent’ or ‘exemplary’ (Ofsted report December 2013).

At Bingley Grammar, we seek to develop the skills, talents and interests of all our students as individuals. No young person learns effectively unless he or she feels safe, secure and happy. Bingley Grammar School is a caring and supportive school and we try to address the individual needs of every student through a comprehensive, flexible pastoral system. As such, we work together to develop self-respect, self-discipline and self-understanding.
