As Headteacher, I have the privilege of being able to visit lessons regularly and to see our 7Cs in action. It gives me great pleasure to see our students approaching their learning with commitment and showing the curiosity and creativity to improve not only their outcomes but their enjoyment of learning too.

Ensuring our students make excellent progress is very important to us and we are constantly seeking ways to verify our confidence in our assessment of students’ progress. Our Excellence in Assessment recognition by the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessor ensures our students, parents, carers and prospective parents and carers can feel confident that we have quality assessment that underpins our students’ academic and personal success.

Lawnswood School is a successful 11-18 comprehensive school situated in northwest Leeds.

Our vibrant and harmonious school community truly reflects the cosmopolitan nature of Leeds. Treating every student as an individual, we are renowned for excellent pastoral care, which promotes excellent achievement for all. This was endorsed by our 'Good' Ofsted judgements in October 2013, May 2018, and again in September 2023. The 'Good' Judgement, across all four categories, described teaching as 'good' and 'outstanding' which promotes "effective learning and positive relationships". (Ofsted). In addition, our commitment to inclusion enables all students to achieve their full potential. "The school provides very good care and support for all students." (Ofsted)

Our school building is modern in design with state of the art facilities that enhance our academic yet innovative curriculum to ensure our students make excellent progress. "The school has been successful in ensuring that all students achieve well across a range of subjects."(Ofsted). Most of our students choose to remain at Lawnswood School in the sixth form and leave us skilled to take their place as caring, committed, self-aware and self-confident members of society.
