Sixth forms and colleges in Leeds

A postcode (M41, or LS1 5AS) starts from the centre of its district; one of 20 places, such as Leeds, from the centre of its schools; a school’s name, such as Townley Grammar, from the school itself. England only. Straight-line distances.

Of the 24 sixth forms and colleges in Leeds, one has a report card, four have key judgements without an overall grade, six have an overall grade on the old scale, eleven have an ungraded inspection and two have no inspection in the data we hold. Among the 22 with an inspection, the oldest verdict, at University Technical College Leeds, dates from 10 January 2023; the latest, at Abbey Grange Church of England Academy, from 6 May 2026.

State schools with a sixth form, and state schools and colleges for students aged 16 and over, in the register of schools: 0 of them selective. Colleges that the register lists as further education colleges, including some sixth form colleges, are not included.

Each mark is one of the schools below, at the date of its latest inspection: report card key judgements only overall grade, old scale ungraded inspection. Behind them, the ruler Ofsted used on that date: pale, an overall grade on the old four-point scale (until 31 August 2024); mid blue, key judgements without an overall grade (from 1 September 2024); deep blue, report cards (from 10 November 2025).
