In 2019 John Smeaton Academy’s performance data placed it as the lowest performing secondary school in the city of Leeds and one of the worst performing in the country. It is fair to say that John Smeaton Academy was a school whose performance for many years was unconvincing, resulting in the community losing confidence in the school.

The academy, has already improved significantly as evidenced by parent/carer and student feedback alongside the day-to-day experience of the students.
