Salendine Nook High School is a unique and very special place. We have a great reputation locally and have a very strong tradition of providing a first-class education to the young people of north-west Huddersfield.

We share our campus with Huddersfield New College and we are a feeder school to this outstanding provider of further education. We also have very strong primary school links. In every sense we are an inclusive and caring community school.

Relationships are at the heart of what we do. Our students are resilient, confident and fully engaged in their learning. Our staff are highly skilled and fully committed to their work. Our parents fully support our students in developing the skills, knowledge and understanding required to succeed. Our Governors are experienced and committed members of the community who support and challenge the school in driving towards our ambitions.

We value aspiration, unity and achievement. Without aspiration one cannot set goals. By celebrating diversity, fostering teamwork and participation, we create the preconditions for success. Our core purpose is to give all the support in order to achieve their unique potential.

    I arrived at SNH as my third school in 28 years of teaching. I can confidently say that I am currently enjoying teaching as much as at any point in my career, probably because my experience and knowledge is valued. The school has a clear and straightforward vision, is led with honesty and clarity and, significantly, the students are welcoming and positive.

    Feel my daughter has settled in well at the school. She feels challenged and, in particular, has enjoyed PE and extra sport events such as after school and lunchtime clubs

    Teaching staff are exemplary and go that extra mile to ensure parents are kept informed. My son is very fortunate to go this school.

    I like working at SNHS because of the TLR opportunities available to staff. One of the greatest things I enjoy about working at SNHS are the House competitions. The camaraderie and fun we can have with students outside of the classroom makes the teacher-student bond stronger.

    I enjoy Foundation as it is in small groups with more 1-1 attention. I felt safe and there was less noise so i could concentrate.
