Thank you for your interest in joining Brighouse High School; we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to our school.

Our school is oversubscribed and has consistently served the community of Brighouse and the surrounding area, always developing and building on consistent good practice and ensuring that positive experiences of student and staff development are partnered with good outcomes for the students. Our School Direct Programme is strong as we move to ensure that we engage, train and retain the best teachers for our students.
Pupils, including students in the sixth form, are proud to attend the school. They feel safe and cared for. Pupils feel they can speak to any member of staff if they have concerns or worries.
Positive relationships are a cornerstone of the school and allow pupils to express themselves with confidence.
Pupils believe the school takes their well-being seriously. One pupil told an inspector, ‘Everyone cares at Brighouse.’ The atmosphere around school and in lessons is calm. Pupils behave well and engage positively in lessons. Pupils are polite and respectful towards each other and staff.
