We moved into our stunning new school in November 2023. This is located in the heart of Leeds, on The Headrow. The facilities for teaching and learning are exceptional, to support our evidence-led and research-informed curriculum and pedagogy. Our ongoing professional development is central to the vision, purpose and day-to-day practice of LMaS.
