With over 2000 students, it is a relatively large college, attracting pupils from as far afield as Wakefield, Manchester, Barnsley, Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Wetherby and even Wales. It is located next to Greenhead Park which is one of the largest parks in Huddersfield.
The college topped The Guardian and The Independent A level college league tables in 2006. It came fourth in 2007 and sixth in 2008. It is also The Sunday Times Sixth Form College of the Year 2014-2015.
Students usually study 3 subjects at A level. The college is quite flexible with respect to courses being studied, with a significant proportion of students studying 4 A Levels. There are over 30 different subjects for students to study.
Prospective students are informed that all applicants will be interviewed, and pre-interview selection criteria can be applied because of the number of external applications received.
Students from partnership feeder schools are given priority for places at the college, and are required to obtain a minimum of five GCSE C grades (including a grade C in English) to gain a place at the college. Current partner schools are All Saints Catholic High School, Almondbury High School and Language College, Colne Valley High School, North Huddersfield Trust School, Holmfirth High School, Honley High School, King James's School, Moor End Technology College, Newsome High School and Sports College, Netherhall Learning Campus, Royds Hall School and Salendine Nook High School.
