John Smeaton Academy
John Smeaton Academy is a co-educational secondary school located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
The school educates children aged 11–16 from across Leeds and its surrounding villages including Scholes, Cross Gates, Barwick-in-Elmet, Pendas Fields and Swarcliffe.
The school is part of the Gorse Academies Trust.
The school was previously called John Smeaton Community High School, named after 18th-century civil engineer John Smeaton of Austhorpe, and its buildings occupied the site of the current school playing fields.
Until August 1992, a middle school occupied one of the buildings on the school site.
The original school buildings were demolished in 2007 to make way for a new school, built by Carillion, at cost of £100 million.
The school was called John Smeaton Community College in 2009. At that time, a report to the Chief Executive of Education Leeds said that schools like "John Smeaton Community College and the David Young Community Academy have transformed standards and outcomes in areas of Leeds where in the past poor standards and poor outcomes were simply accepted as the norm".
The school became an academy in 2014 and joined multi-academy trust United Learning. In 2021 the school became part of the Gorse Academies Trust.
