Salendine Nook High School Academy is a large secondary school in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.[1] It is adjacent to Huddersfield New College.
History
Secondary modern school
When the school was built, Huddersfield Corporation had a trolleybus terminus built next to it, serving only for the journeys of the school's pupils. This provision was unique in the British Isles.[2]
Salendine Nook Secondary School opened in September 1956 for 600.[3] Huddersfield New College was built to the west of the site, and Huddersfield High School, a girls grammar school, was built to the east. It was part of a campus.
Work started in December 1955 by James Miller and partners of Edinburgh, costing around £233,000.
Comprehensive
Most of Huddersfield became comprehensive in 1973.
Academy
The school formally became an academy on 1 February 2012. This followed a resolution to seek academy status by the school governors at governors meeting on 6 July 2011.
School trip
The school had 25 pupils stranded in the US in April 2010; they were unable to return home due to the flying ban caused by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. The children and four staff went to Florida as part of a physics field trip that was scheduled to last a week but ended up over £15,000 over budget as they had to extend their stay.[4]
