Welcome to Leeds West Academy
Thank you for taking an interest in Leeds West Academy. We are a new place for learning serving the communities in the west of the city with high ambitions for our learners. The academy has a distinctive offer for students and the community, based on the core principles of striving for excellence, valuing success in every endeavour, and creating an environment where learning can flourish.
At Leeds West Academy we place the learner at the heart of everything we do. Traditional values underpin our aspirations for students as we are a learning community which values respect, tolerance and hard work. On these foundations we are dynamic and forward-thinking, with features which have been described as innovative and inspirational. In September 2011 we will be opening in our brand new £30m building, which is being creatively designed to be an asset to the whole community.
I hope you will take the time to look at our website which gives a flavour of what we have on offer, but more importantly come and visit us and find out for yourself what a vibrant community of learners Leeds West Academy is.
Annette Hall - Principal
