Kirklees College Springfield Sixth Form Centre

We have been trying to get through the Springfield centre for some time. It has been pathetically impossible! First we were given an extension number to the staff rooom for foundation level. Nobody answers. We tried again by calling the main line that puts you through to the main campus. Operator there said apply online and child can view the foundation level dept during interview, but when I questioned her how can we apply online if child hasn’t seen foundation level resources or courses/staff? Could we apply online and change the course later? She replied it’s not possible to change so will send out a manual application form through the post! It’s not about applying, some children with additional needs need to VISIT the department and are sometimes unsure about the courses.As much as they may have spent millions to build this additional needs centre, it’s not easily accessible, communication and contact is dire and needs updating to this century rather than going through silly phone calls and suggestions over the phone which is just delaying the whole process.I will give up and not bother sending my child here since just trying to get through to the department is a super massive struggle and mission I now worry what communication would be like after enrolling for parents or students.You can’t get through to anyone in this college it’s pathetic! Imagine someone with learning difficulty trying to call to speak to someone and only end up confused and doors shut on them like this.

Staff can be strict the security guard not very good here told me not to use my phone only when I came to see my freind and the same thing happened with a support worker told me not to take pictures found him very rude

They lie to people with anxiety

Nice campus.

Love this college the staff make your day everythime I have a favourite teacher there I like going to kirklees college Springfield centre it's a nice the college is amazing

Do not send your kids here with special needs! The teachers don’t have a clue how to deal with special needs kids! The biggest mistake was sending my kid here who goes to the special needs section, it’s been a living nightmare with the teachers! Please take my advice and don’t send your kids with special needs here as they will suffer! The teachers are very inexperienced on dealing with kids with special needs !

New collage looks top notch

Good college, why are the front gates never open though? Extremely inconvenient to students on shorter break times.

I really like this college staff are very friendly students can miss behave sometimes dirty toilets more options in the canteen staff can be a bit strict and biased and staff ignore me too when I come back after gym don’t know whether they’re taking the mick out of me

We don't have enough courses to choose, the front door never opens. Overall the staff, study support and everything is great
