Standing proudly at the heart of the Chapeltown and Harehills communities. For over a century, Hillcrest Academy has warmly welcomed families from all over the world.

We celebrate and embrace all cultures, faiths and personalities into our safe and happy school.

Our team is immensely proud to have achieved our status as an Ofsted Outstanding provider for every local pupil aged 3 to 11. We pride ourselves on every child making progress above and beyond expectations, whatever their starting points.

Your child’s school days are the most important time and the very best chance to develop into rounded, confident and ambitious individuals. We can offer them a World Class School with world class teachers and world class facilities to support every child to grow and develop.

Through care, kindness and decency, we will offer a curriculum packed with a full suite of subjects, alongside the love and support of a dedicated staff team.

Every child can and will achieve. It is up to us.

At Hillcrest Academy, we firmly believe that children have one chance, and that we have the opportunity and responsibility to create young people who have all of the skills and characteristics needed to go on to greatness. We are proud of our role at the centre of a vibrant, wonderful community, we feel privileged to welcome every child and family into our holistic academy. It is our promise to ensure that children currently living in the Chapeltown, Harehills and surrounding areas of Leeds enjoy access to a truly inspirational primary academy. We continue to show through our work in partnership with other schools and colleagues within The GORSE Academies Trust that no barrier will in any way limit either the quality of a child’s educational experience or the levels of achievement to which our children are able to rise.

At Hillcrest we establish a mutually supportive and close relationship with all our parents where trust and respect is at the heart of all we do. We aim to keep parents informed and involved in a positive way, encouraging them to be aspirational about their child’s future, and positive about their child’s education. We are proud of our family partnerships, working together to help every pupil achieve their full potential.

It is up to us.
