Parents and our wider community can be confident that every one of our children is safe, cherished, encouraged and brilliantly taught. Equality and inclusion is at the heart of all that we do.

The professional team wholeheartedly recognise that our children are wonderful and deserve nothing but the very best.

Ryecroft Academy benefits extensively from being a part of The GORSE Academies Trust which is passionately committed to providing an exceptional education to some of the most disadvantaged pupils in the Leeds city region.

As an academy, we are extremely fortunate to be in receipt of significant capital development investment which is transforming our building and site into a first class, charming and vibrant school.
