Welcome to Leodis Academies Trust.

Leodis Academies Trust was established in April 2016 to formalise the collaborative working of four high performing schools within close proximity of one another. In September 2018, Blackgates Primary Academy joined East Ardsley Primary Academy, Hill Top Primary Academy, Westerton Primary Academy and Woodkirk Academy & Sixth Form, cementing our place at the heart of the Tingley and Ardsley community. Through our hub model, Leodis offers young people the opportunity to experience consistency, security and excellence in their education from 2 to 18 years old, from the start of nursery to the end of sixth form and into adulthood, from cradle to career.

Leodis Academies Trust and our individual Academies are committed to ‘Forging Young Futures’.  To do this, each Academy has its own ethos and identity and has the freedom to develop individually as well as working together to secure high quality outcomes for all its young people.  By providing an extensive curriculum both within and beyond the classroom we cater for the wide range of talent and ability that our children and young people have to offer.  We work tirelessly to improve the life chances of all and support them to make a positive contribution to their community.

Whilst Leodis consists of schools closely geographically located, the Trust works collaboratively with a wide range of partner organisations both locally in Morley and south Leeds, as well as further afield with our Initial Teacher Training, University and employer partners.

Our positive outlook and excellent reputation enables us to attract and sustain high quality staff teams led by exceptional leadership teams.  We value our staff and the experience they bring to the Trust so that we can continue to build on our strengths.  We are an employer of choice in the area and working for Leodis you will be able to access the many staff benefits on offer through our staff pledge.  Those we recruit will demonstrate that they want to be part of our collaborative working culture and in return they will enjoy being part of the Leodis family
