Families around Halifax looking for extra help with schoolwork now have another great option. GoEducate, a tutoring service already trusted by local schools and councils, has just opened its third learning centre right in the heart of Dean Clough. It’s not just another classroom though—this space mixes one-on-one teaching with a proper bookshop and links students into a buzzing creative hub.
So, if you’ve ever searched for a good local tutor for your child’s GCSEs, the 11+, or even if they’ve had a hard time at school because of illness or mental health, here’s what’s going on and why this new spot might matter to you.
GoEducate adds a third centre at Dean Clough in Halifax
GoEducate has officially opened its new space at D Mill Courtyard, one of the standout buildings at Dean Clough. It’s their third location in Calderdale, which shows just how much demand there is for what they do.
This new spot isn’t just for lessons. It’s got a retail bookshop too, making it easier for families to grab resources and get advice all in one place. The space is on a street-facing corner, which means it’s not hidden away. You can pop in just like you would to any shop.
For anyone who doesn’t know them yet, GoEducate is already helping more than 400 local primary and secondary students across Calderdale. Some are prepping for exams, others are catching up in subjects they find tricky. And for kids who aren’t in mainstream school—maybe because of illness, disability, or mental health—GoEducate works with local schools to offer alternate provision.
What makes Dean Clough the right fit?
Dean Clough isn’t your average business park. It’s a former textile mill turned creative and commercial village. The place is packed with history, art, and a surprising number of top-notch businesses and schools.
Here’s what’s already on site:
- Calderdale College‘s new digital creative skills hub (12,834 sq ft!)
- Pinc College, a specialist for neurodiverse learners
- Frog Education, who make learning software
- Chef Benson Smith Academy, a school for food lovers
- ACDC Art School, which regularly runs exhibitions and creative events
It’s like a campus for people of all ages, and Holly North from GoEducate agrees. She says the location is a perfect match:
“At GoEducate, we are dedicated to creating inclusive and personalised learning experiences that empower every student to succeed, regardless of their challenges… It is hugely beneficial to be located alongside many other providers such as Calderdale College, Pinc College and Frog who we hope to collaborate with.”
More growth happening at Dean Clough
And it’s not just GoEducate setting up shop. Another education-related business, Connex Education Partnership, has also expanded its Yorkshire base at Dean Clough. They’re a national recruitment and training provider for schools and early years, and they’ve just moved into a 1,237 sq ft office in D Mill.
This shows how Dean Clough is becoming a real hub for education, training, and personal growth. According to Jeremy Hall, who leads Dean Clough:
“Education and personal growth are inherent in the Dean Clough community… We hope that the students and their families will be encouraged to visit our free art exhibitions and studio programmes and make use of the fantastic breadth of amenities available at Dean Clough.”
That means this isn’t just a place for lessons. It’s a place where kids and families can explore creativity, see free exhibitions, and even catch a theatre show.
What else is at Dean Clough?
Let’s break it down. Dean Clough currently houses about 150 organisations and employs over 3,000 people. Big names include:
- Covea Insurance
