Churchill said, “We shape our buildings and our buildings shape us”
The various stages of use of Royds Hall reflected a changing Britain from a predominantly farming economy, through immense industrial revolution in the 19th century, to the post- industrial scene of the 20th century.
Royds Hall began as an important farmhouse in the Paddock and Longwood area and was rebuilt as a mansion, known as Royds Wood, whose philanthropic mill owner served the increasingly industrialised and expanding town of Huddersfield.
It used to be Royds Hall Grammar School. It opened on 20 September 1921.[2] The building was formerly Royds Hall Mansion, built by Sir Joseph Crosland (the Conservative MP for Huddersfield from 1893–5) in 1866. His son, Thomas, sold it to Huddersfield Corporation in 1915 for £17,000.
It became a comprehensive in the early 1970s.[3]
It is for ages 11 to 16. It is situated in the west of Huddersfield, on the north side of the Colne Valley towards Milnsbridge. It is also known as Royds Hall Specialist Science College.
In February 2008, it launched the RHTV channel.
Royds Hall High School has its own onsite weather station providing accurate weather information for Paddock and Huddersfield.
Royds Hall students achieve GCSEs just below the England average, but average for Kirklees.
