The Co-operative Academy of Leeds is a comprehensive school in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It has two sponsors; The Co-operative Group and Leeds City College.
The original site for the school was on Hill Street and Dolly Lane. The school had a main site and a separate annexe, which had maths department, science department and a sixth-form department on the top floor.
Before this, the secondary school was called Primrose High school, but it is now called The Co-operativa Academy of Leeds.
In September 2006, Primrose High School moved to a brand new purpose built school which is part of a PFI scheme.

[edit] Plans to close Primrose High School
Education Leeds are holding consultations in regards to closing Primrose High School (along with Parklands High School in Seacroft and City of Leeds School in Woodhouse) and replacing it with The Co-operative Academy of Leeds on the same site, which would be sponsored by The Co-operative Group[1]. Should the decision be made, Primrose High School would close in August 2011 and re-open as The Co-operative academy of Leeds in September 2011.
[edit] Truancy
Primrose High was criticised after a report published in January 2008 and reported in the Yorkshire Evening Post revealed Primrose High to have the second worst truancy rate for any secondary school in Leeds, the worst being the City of Leeds School in Woodhouse.[2]
[edit] Location
The school is situated in the eastern corner of Leeds city centre. It is a five-minute bus journey from the city centre.
