Leeds City Academy (formerly City of Leeds School) is a mixed secondary school with academy status, located in Woodhouse, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
The school building was opened to pupils in 1992, although the City of Leeds School has existed on a different site for over 100 years.
The school featured in the British national news in March 2014, when it was reported that all pupils, whether or not of English origin, would be taught English as a foreign language.[1][2][3][4]
Previously a community school administered by Leeds City Council, City of Leeds School converted to academy status on 1 August 2014 and was renamed Leeds City Academy. The school is now sponsored by Leeds City College, however it continues to coordinate with Leeds City Council for admissions.
