Foxwood School was a Comprehensive school in Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1956 and closed 40 years later in 1996.

Foxwood School was the first comprehensive school in Leeds and opened on 4 September 1956 under the Headship of Mr M R Rowlands. It was built as part of the development of the Seacroft Housing Estate which, with a population of about 18,000, is one of the largest council estates in the country. The history of Foxwood is inextricably linked to that of the estate which it served. The school originally occupied the buildings which later became Parklands Girls High School for 2 years, before moving, in 1958, into the partly completed building on a 32-acre site at the east end of South Parkway, on Brooklands View. The plan was to take 300 boys a year until its capacity of 1500 pupils was reached. The school was officially opened on 5 February 1959 by the Rt Hon. Hugh Gaitskell, MP for Leeds South.

Foxwood continued to grow and by 1962 a sixth form had been established and in 1963 the target of 1500 pupils had been reached. The comprehensive system always had its critics but during the 1960s the school demonstrated considerable academic, sporting and artistic success. Pupils gained places at Oxford and Cambridge and other leading Universities, the school produced international football and rugby league players and many of the boys played in local bands. In addition to the usual academic subjects "technical, engineering and commercial courses and advanced courses in music and art" were also provided.

Foxwood changed from an all boys’ school to a mixed one in 1971, during the Headship of Bob Spooner but " unfortunately the intake of boys was always going to be in excess of girls due to the close proximity of Parklands Girls School which was situated within Foxwood’s catchment area". In 1973 Leeds undertook a massive reorganisation of the education system by establishing a first, middle and high school pattern of education which came into force the following year. Foxwood became a high school.

The school had difficult challenges in the 1970s in addition to restructuring. Many of the children came from deprived backgrounds and Foxwood was described in a brief biography of one of its teachers, the future MP, Colin Burgon, as “a deprived secondary school in the Seacroft area of East Leeds.” Bob Spooner was a leading light in the world of education and was known for appointing radical teachers who used innovative teaching methods. He recognised the need to experiment and engage with the children. According to Colin Richardson, another teacher at the time, these methods "worked because we got really good results with the pupils."

During the 1980s falling pupil numbers across the city meant that all Leeds high schools developed surplus places, so in 1986 another plan of major restructuring was launched, middle schools were due to be eliminated with the organisation reverting to the old style pattern of primary and secondary system of education. Under this plan Foxwood was to become a tertiary college for higher education. In 1989 the overall development plan was rejected by the LEA. The school was to remain open but a decision was taken to rename it and give it a fresh image. On 31 August 1992 Foxwood School officially closed and was renamed East Leeds High School.

Two heads dominated the foundation and development of Foxwood and ran the school for more than thirty years.
