What we want to tell about our school
We are an inner city school located close to Leeds city centre and nearby the universities in Leeds. The majority of our pupils are of Pakistani origin and speak languages other than English at home. We are proud of our friendly, caring atmosphere. We are an inclusive school – as well as having many nationalities represented in our community we also have children with a range of needs, including 6 special school children with us full time who are very much part of our school.
