Welcome to

Co-op Academy Priesthorpe

Our academy has a very special ethos, which visitors continue to comment on. Equity and equality are key drivers for us in making sure all students are able to excel within a highly inclusive and supportive community.

We have the highest expectations of our staff, students and parents, and strongly believe that embracing rather than avoiding challenge is critical if our students are to achieve the exceptional outcomes they are capable of. This ensures our students become independent, life-long learners equipped with the knowledge and skills they will need to become successful adults, both in the workplace and beyond.

Co-op Academy Priesthorpe serves a diverse community and is extremely proud of the empathy, tolerance and respect its members show each other. These qualities underpin our total commitment to develop the whole child, academically, socially and emotionally.

In summer 2022, we achieved our best ever Year 11 outcomes, with a Progress 8 score of +0.30. In 2023, our outcomes are, once again, above national figures.

We were delighted when Ofsted, in their 2024 inspection, recognised the work that goes on every day to make sure we have an inclusive community where every student can thrive. They stated ''Pupils at Co-op Academy Priesthorpe are proud to be part of an inclusive community''.

A warm welcome from our headteacher

It is an absolute privilege to lead a school community that I care deeply about and one that I have been a part of for over 20 years.

Louise Pratt

I have been a teacher now in the local Bradford and Leeds area for almost 25 years. The majority of that time has been at Priesthorpe. I started as a Teacher of Business and Economics and have held a number of roles in school. I’m not sure I ever intended to stay at Priesthorpe as long as I have but there is something about the people, the students, the staff and the parents that keeps me here. Priesthorpe is a very special community and one that I am proud to continue to be a part of.
