Co-op Academy Leeds (formerly Primrose High School) is a co-operative academy in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is a part of the Co-op Academies Trust, which is sponsored by The Co-operative Group.

Site

The school is in the eastern corner of Leeds city centre. 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 a maths department, science department and a sixth form department. In September 2006 the school moved to a new purpose-built site, which is part of a PFI scheme.

In September 2018 it was renamed Co-op Academy Leeds in line with Co-op Academies Trust new branding and naming strategy.
