grammar school and currentsixth form college located in the large town ofHuddersfield , in the English county ofWest 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 atSalendine Nook , high in thePennines above the town. The last admission of 11-year olds was in1972 , 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.In January
2007 , building works commenced to expand the current school to increase capacity. New buildings will house additional classrooms for Art, psychology and 'Early Years'. Additional expansion to 'The boiler house' - the current performing arts area is also commencing, yielding increased classrooms and a recording studio.References
