Kirklees College is a further education college with two main centres in the towns of Dewsbury and Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, England.

History

The college was formed on 1 August 2008 after the Dewsbury College Dissolution order [1] approved that the corporation of Dewsbury College be dissolved and all its property, rights and liabilities transferred to Huddersfield Technical College. On 1 August 2008 Huddersfield Technical College changed its name to Kirklees College.[2]

Former colleges

Part of Dewsbury College is the former Wheelwright Grammar School for Boys. It had around 450 boys in the 1960s and was administered by the County Borough of Dewsbury Education Committee.

Sites

Dewsbury

The Dewsbury centre has three campuses in and around Dewsbury:

  • The Batley School of Art is on Birkdale Road.[3]
  • The main campus is on Halifax Road, Dewsbury, about 200 yards from the main site.{{clarify|reason=main campus/main site; what is the difference|date=March 2015}}[4]
  • Wheelwright Campus is home to all of the art courses{{clarify|reason=so if the Batley School of Art doesn't do art courses, what does it do?|date=March 2015}}, but is also home to sports and fitness courses, due to the large playing field on its grounds.[5] The centre operates an award-winning Photographic course – BA Hons Contemporary Photographic Arts, a full-time three year honours degree from the University of Huddersfield.[6] The course has a national reputation and has approval from the 'British Institute of Professional Photographers'.

Huddersfield

A new campus has been constructed off Manchester Road, adjacent to the River Colne, just outside the Huddersfield town centre, at a projected cost of £85 million, to replace the New North Road Campus.{{clarify|reason=New North Road Campus not previously mentioned; requires some sort of explanation|date=March 2015}}[7][8]

The college's Taylor Hill Centre, on Close Hill Road in the Huddersfield suburb of Taylor Hill, provides full-time courses relating to animal care, land-based studies, conservation and countryside management.[9]

Accreditation

The Leeds Metropolitan University validates the School of Art and Designs' flagship course B.A.Hons "Fine Art for Design", an internationally renowned and award-winning course. Art, Design & Fashion.[10] Since its creation in 1998 by Eve Jones and Richard Gray, students have gone on to study at The Royal College of Art, won the Unilever graduate of the year award and many other national and international prizes. The course exhibits in London every year at Free Range at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick lane.[11]

Legal action

In November 2010 the college paid £5,000 compensation in a private settlement to a blind student, Tmara Senior, after legal action was taken against the school, for bullying by a teacher and other students in 2008. Tmara Senior and her husband Wayne, who is also blind said that they think it’s important that what happened to Tmara shouldn’t be “covered up” and “forgotten”.[12]
