Co-op Academy Leeds: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 95 families put Co-op Academy Leeds as their first choice and 429 named it as one of their preferences, for 193 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 131 in 2021 to 95 in 2026, while places went from 180 to 193.
Across Leeds, 83% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 95% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Leeds lodged 804 appeals against secondary school offers; 589 reached a hearing and 76 succeeded (12.9% of those heard).
