Lawnswood School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Lawnswood area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Contents

The school was founded in 1972 and had its first comprehensive intake in 1974. Its predecessors were the Leeds Modern School, a boys' grammar school (founded 1845) attended by Alan Bennett, and Lawnswood High School for Girls, a girls' grammar school (founded 1854), which moved to the current Lawnswood site in 1932.

The sixth form was judged as Grade 2 and "consistently good" in the 2009 Ofsted inspection, but the school as a whole was rated as Grade 4 (Inadequate) for overall effectiveness. [1] and consequently placed into special measures. [2] During an early 2011 Ofsted visit, the school was judged to be "making good progress in all the key areas," [3] and in July 2011 the school was taken out of special measures. [4] In late 2013, Ofsted rated the school Grade 2 (Good) for overall effectiveness. [1]
