IMPROVING LIVES, INSPIRING CHANGE
About Us
Brian Jackson College is an Alternative Provision supporting pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We welcome students who have found that mainstream education isn’t for them and are facing exclusion. The colleges, located in Huddersfield and Heckmondwike, support pupils with social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
Our aim is to inspire all our pupils to be motivated and successful citizens, equipped to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We have created a positive environment that offers a fresh start and encourages and promotes pupils’ academic, social, moral, spiritual and cultural learning.
Head Teachers Message
Jacqueline Green (BSc Hons/QTLS/NPQEL)
We are extremely proud of the work that we do and the outcomes we achieve for young people in Kirklees and surrounding areas.
Our June 2026 Ofsted report praised the school for providing a highly inclusive environment where pupils feel safe, valued and supported to thrive. Inspectors highlighted the school’s culture of kindness, care and patience, its highly effective pastoral support, and its unwavering ambition for every pupil. The report recognised the strong personalised support available to pupils, the positive progress they make academically and socially, and the way the school helps young people grow into confident, resilient and respectful individuals who are well prepared for their future education, employment and adult life.
One parent stated “They not only were in constant contact with me with information and to let me know how she was doing, but they organised and attended meetings with other agencies involved in her care to ensure she got the support she needed. I absolutely cannot recommend Brian Jackson College enough to prospective parents and students.“.
