All Saints Catholic College is a Roman Catholic secondary school situated in Bradley Bar, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.
All Saints Catholic College was formed as a Comprehensive school in 1973 with the merger of St. Gregory's RC Grammar school and St. Augustine's RC Secondary Modern school, which had previously existed on the same site.
In 2006, it achieved specialist Humanities College status.
Originally, St. Gregory's R.C. Grammar school was run as a catholic voluntary aided grammar school by Huddersfield Education Committee. It had around 500 students in the early 1960s, which rose to 800 by the early 1970s.
All Saints takes Catholic students from a number of Primary schools in the Huddersfield and Halifax areas of West Yorkshire. There are also a number of non-Catholic students at the school, and admission is not solely based on religion.
All Saints is a feeder school to a number of local colleges including Greenhead College, Huddersfield New College and Kirklees College.
GCSE results have improved over the last few years with the percentage of students gaining 5 GCSE's at grade A*-C (including English and Maths) rising from 42% in 2010 to 57% in 2013 with the best results ever achieved in 2014 of 63%. This now places the school broadly in line with national averages.
Progress of students has been consistently high in English. Progress in Maths and Science has shown an improvement over recent years.
The school was ranked 18th in Kirklees secondary schools in the 2013 league tables.
Following improved results in 2014, the school is ranked 7th overall in Kirklees, and 4th when selective schools are removed.
The school building is now a huge rectangular, modern school setting with plenty of classrooms including practical rooms and computer rooms. They also have a Learning Resource Centre (LRC) equipped with plenty of books and a computer area. The school also has a PE building which has a large PE hall as well as a fitness studio.
