Greenhead College

Greenhead College is a former grammar school and current sixth form college located in Huddersfield, in the English county of West Yorkshire. The current principal is Martin Rostron. With around 1800 pupils, it is a relatively large college, attracting pupils from as far afield as Wakefield, Manchester, Barnsley, Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Oldham and even Wetherby. Greenhead has a very good reputation, with a regular annual flow of students into both Oxford and Cambridge universities. 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 has been criticised for selecting only the brightest students, but this has been denied by the principal Martin Rostron, saying "It's not true. We do take in students of all abilities". While minimum criteria are given for partner school applicants, no indication of minimum criteria appears on the college's website or prospectus for non-partner school applicants. Prospective students are informed that all applicants will be interviewed, and pre-interview selection criteria can be applied due to the high number of external applications received.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
