About High Crags Primary Leadership Academy

High Crags Primary Leadership Academy is a primary school, with a nursery, for 2 to 11 year olds in Shipley, West Yorkshire. We joined Star Academies in 2018 and, like all Star schools, we have a leadership specialism. We were graded as 'Good' by Ofsted during our most recent inspection in March 2019, including an 'Outstanding' grade for our early years provision. 

We are a rapidly improving school with high ambitions and expectations for all of our pupils. We provide a knowledge-based academic curriculum alongside a rich and diverse leadership programme that grows character and inspires charitable and social action. Our pursuit of educational excellence is based upon our fundamental belief that every pupil has the capacity to become a successful and inspirational leader.
