Welcome to Royds Hall High School!
'Teachers know you; it's not so much a school, more like a second home!'
Student comment to Ofsted September 2011
Royds Hall is a successful and very popular high school catering for approximately 850 students aged 11 – 16. We are a Cooperative Trust school and our community benefits through excellent links with our trust partners, The Science Centre at Sheffield Hallam University, Huddersfield New College, Huddersfield Town Football Club and Holmfirth Fair Traders Association.
We are delighted to have
- Happy, confident and aspirational students who express a real pride in their school
- Expert staff in all areas with a passion for learning and a determination to ensure all students maximise their potential
- Calm and purposeful learning environments
- Excellent partnerships between students, staff, parents, governors and community
- A forward-thinking and innovative approach to teaching and learning throughout the school
Our school community is enriched by its diversity. We have over 30 countries and 27 languages represented in school and we take great pride in our role at the heart of our local community.
In September 2011, Ofsted recognised our achievements, finding us to be a good school with a significant number of features, including our care, guidance and support for students, judged to be outstanding. They also highlighted our well-established trend of improvement and mutually respectful relationships between students and teachers which results in confident learners who make ‘remarkable progress’.
We welcome visits to the school – our students are our best ambassadors for their school and would be delighted to join me in showing you round the school. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any query as the well-being and achievement of our students is of the utmost importance to us.
