Sports
Sport is a very important part of Calderdale College. We have state of the art facilities including 3G pitch, new gym, the Hannah Cockcroft Hall and our partnerships with Halifax RLFC (who use our facilities for their training base) and local sports clubs. However is is the opportunity for our learners to combine playing sport alongside studying any course at the College which is most important.
