Greenhead College is located on an attractive campus close to Huddersfield town centre, adjacent to the picturesque Greenhead Park. We are a short drive from the M62 and within walking distance of the train and bus station. Therefore, the College is an easy commute from much of the Northwest and Yorkshire.

In March 2022, the College was once again graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, with no areas of weakness identified. This is testament to the resilience, ambition and success of our students, and the hard work of staff.

The College is a great place to work, with a warm, inclusive atmosphere existing between students and staff. Our staff are recognised for their hard work and are encouraged to inspire each another, and to develop and grow. We are proud to have a strong and able College Leadership Team, and a highly experienced Board, who work collaboratively to deliver the College’s purpose and principles, and strategic objectives.

The music department consists of around 100 students studying A Levels in Music and Music Technology and a BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Music Performance. The role of Head of Subject - Music Technology exists alongside a Head of Department in Music (delivering A Level Music and BTEC Music Performance) and a Music Technician. Despite modest accommodation, the department is well resourced with plans to further incrementally improve and update over the coming years. There are two main teaching rooms with Mac M2 Pro computers running Logic Pro, alongside a number of breakout practice rooms and a larger rehearsal room. Our main studio was upgraded in Summer 2024 to include new furniture alongside a brand new Midas M32 console, Mac Studio, Adam Audio A77H and Yamaha HS8 monitors and a Focusrite ISA preamp alongside various older analogue outboard gear. We also have a selection of industry-standard microphones to support students’ high achievement in their non-examined assessment work. There is also a smaller, post production studio running a Mac Pro M2 with dual screens, SSL interface and Tannoy Reveal monitors.

The music technology teaching room is well equipped with KRK Rockit RP8 G5 monitors and multiple large TV screens to effectively demonstrate practical tasks to students.

The course has a history of ALPS 2 outcomes and in 2024 95% of students achieved grade A*-C and 42% achieved grade A*/A compared to the national average of 14%.
