  • KS4 Parents Evening

    Published 08/01/26

    Dear Parent / Guardian,

    We hope this message finds you well and that you had a restful break over the holiday season. A very happy New Year from all the staff here; we are delighted to welcome our students back for what promises to be a busy and productive spring term.

    We are writing to inform you that the Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and Year 11) Parents’ Evening has been scheduled for Thursday, January 15th, from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Please note that students will finish their school day at the normal time of 3:05 pm.

    This evening is an invaluable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress directly with their subject teachers, review their current attainment, and plan next steps. This is particularly vital as Year 11 students approach their final exams and Year 10 students strengthen their subject understanding.

    We kindly ask that your child books appointments with their subject teachers in the coming days.

    We look forward to seeing you there.

    Yours sincerely,

    Miss Pearson

  • Phase 2 Y11 Revision

    Published 06/01/26

    Dear Parents / Carers,

    On behalf of all the staff at Co-op Academy Leeds, I want to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year. We hope you had a restful and enjoyable break.

    The Importance of Year 11

    As we move into the spring term, we must reinforce that this is the most critical phase of the academic journey for our Year 11 students. The coming months are vital for consolidating knowledge and focusing on examination technique. Every lesson, every piece of homelearning, and every revision session from now until the start of the GCSE exams will have a direct impact on their final results.

    We understand that this period can be demanding, but with your continued support at home and our commitment to high-quality teaching and focused revision in school, we are confident that every student can achieve their full potential.

    Updated Revision Offer and Support

    To ensure students have the best possible chance of success, we have refreshed and expanded our Year 11 Revision Offer. This includes specific subject workshops, targeted intervention sessions, and access to key resources.

    The updated schedule detailing all of the available sessions and support materials is attached to this letter. We strongly encourage you to review this document with your child to identify sessions that will be most beneficial for them. Attendance at these sessions is highly recommended and forms a crucial part of their preparation.

    Key Dates
    • Year 11 Parents Evening, Thursday 15th January
    • WC 2nd February Year 11 Mocks will begin

    Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to a successful and productive final term leading up to the summer exams.

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at emma.pearson@coopacademies.co.uk.

    Published 26/11/25

    Dear Student,

    I am pleased to inform you that your exam certificates from Summer 2025 will be available to collect from our Main Reception from Monday 15 December 2025 between 10am and 2pm.

    If you are collecting your certificates in person, you will not require any ID.  If you require a third-party person to collect your certificates on your behalf, please fill in the form on the reverse of this letter.  The third-party collector must have this form or a written letter giving your consent and also proof of their ID.

    Please be reminded that your certificates are legal documents and therefore the school can only retain them for 1 year after the stated collection date and then they will be destroyed. Replacement certificates will be charged at approximately £50 per certificate and will be available from the individual exam boards. All certificates will be checked by the person collecting the certificates, and signed for upon collection to ensure their accuracy. The school will not be held liable for any inaccuracies once the certificates have been signed for.

    Kind regards

  • Co-op Local Community Fund

    Published 06/11/25

    We’re delighted to share some exciting news; Co-op Academy Leeds has been selected as one of the Co-op Local Community Fund causes for 2025–2026!

    Our project, CAL Community Pantry, has been chosen as one of three local causes that Co-op Members can support in our area. This means that every time Co-op Members buy selected Co-op products and services, 1% of what they spend goes towards local community causes, and your votes can help our school receive a larger share!

    How You Can Help
    1. Become a Co-op Member
      If you’re not already a member, join online at www.coop.co.uk/membership or by downloading the Co-op App.
       

    2. Choose Co-op Academy Leeds as Your Local Cause
      Once you’re a member, log in to the Co-op App or website, go to “Membership” → “Support Your Local Cause” and select Co-op Academy Leeds – CAL Community Pantry.
       

    3. Shop and Scan Your Membership Card
      Every time you shop at Co-op and scan your card, you’ll help raise funds for our project.
       

    About Our Project

    Our project aims to increase the community's access and longevity to receiving nutritious foods and ingredients that people can cook with to feed their families for years to come. This funding could help us partner with food wastage and distribution organisations to allow us to access more culturally appropriate and healthier foods to help feed families.

    The more people who choose our school as their cause, the more funding we’ll receive to make this happen. There’s £6,000 available to share between the three local causes — and every vote counts!

    Stay Involved

    The Co-op App goes live with all the local causes from Sunday 19th October. You’ll be able to see our school listed and start supporting us straight away.

    Don’t forget to tag @coopuk and @Co-op Academy Leeds when sharing online to spread the word!

    Thank you for your support - together we can make a real difference in our school and local community.

    Natalie Jones
    Headteacher, Co-op Academy Leeds
