LEAF Academy Trust was founded in 2011 by David Young Community Academy, Manston St James Primary Academy and the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds. LEAF academies are based in Leeds, providing high levels of support and challenge within a close family of local schools with mutual responsibility, care and trust. Inspiring future leaders: serving Leeds.

LEAF’s mission is to serve by providing the highest possible standard of education and support for personal development; we focus on excellence in all areas and challenge everyone to achieve their best. LEAF welcomes people of all faiths and none and actively celebrates diversity.

We appreciate that our most precious resource is our staff; they are professional, trained to a high level and given the best resources available. All staff have access to exceptional professional development activities and are well supported in progressing their careers. LEAF expects its staff to be enthused by opportunities to support other schools and ‘step up’ when required. Career progression can often be rapid. In addition to working hard, LEAF academies have a strong collegiate atmosphere and a culture of excellent mutual support.

LEAF aims to bring greater expertise, experience and even higher standards of excellence to young people in Leeds. Outstanding professionals work locally and collaboratively to innovate and accelerate improvements in practice.
