Our aim is to empower every individual to be the best they can be in all aspects of their lives as 21st Century global citizens, and our work is underpinned by our shared values of: Work Hard. Be Kind. Take Responsibility.

All members of the school community work towards the same goals.  Together we create a culture that supports our aims.  A culture that is safe, calm and supportive; that values growth and personal development; that prioritises positive experiences every day; and that is fully inclusive, ensuring equality of opportunity for all.

DfE School Rebuilding Programme

We are delighted that the Department for Education (DfE) has gained approval for the proposed School Rebuilding Programme project at Woodkirk Academy to proceed to the next stage.  A full procurement process has resulted in Wilmott Dixon, who have a base in Morley, being appointed as the contractor.

Wilmott Dixon are now working with the DfE, School and Trust to undertake further detailed design.  As part of this work, extensive surveys of the whole site will be undertaken.  Wilmott Dixon will liaise with all stakeholders to develop the scheme for final approval by the DfE and other regulatory bodies such as Sport England and Leeds City Council Planning department.  As part of this consultation there will be the opportunity for those interested to attend a public meeting at the school, led by the DfE.  Dates will be shared when confirmed.

We anticipate that the planning application for this project will be submitted by Summer 2026.  Further updates, including timescales for the project, will be made in due course.
