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:

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.
Olympic reading challenge
A group of students have took part in the school’s Olympic Reading Challenge. Students read 5, 10 or 15 books, completing a project on each one to receive their bronze, silver or gold medal. The challenge began earlier in the year and students have worked extremely hard to gain their medals. The gold medal involved making a board game, a book sandwich and even planning a party based on the books they had read.
Students at Royds Hall High School have sky high hopes.
UP, up and away! - Royds Hall High School recently launched over 800 balloons into the air, each one with a tag about different student’s aspirations. The event was all part of the school’s 90th anniversary year and to celebrate the olympic summer. The balloons were in the school colours of yellow, teal and turquoise. The school would like to hear from anyone who finds a balloon, as there is a prize for the balloon which has travelled the greatest distance.
