JohnCouncil chiefs have signed off paperwork to enable St Peter’s C of E Primary School to become an academy.
A commercial transfer agreement to enable the school to open as an academy on 1 July 2024 has been agreed, according to a Leeds City Council report.
The Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust will run the school, in Cromwell Street. The Trust has been established as a passionate commitment to support church and community schools across the Diocese of Leeds.
Bringing together the children, staff and governors in our schools and the central team and directors on the Trust Board, we are proud to ‘love, live and work together’ to support the delivery of quality education.

Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
