Multilingual Students

Co-op Academy Leeds is proud to be a multicultural, multilingual school.

We have a team of specialised, skilled staff who support our multilingual students to achieve their potential while at our school and in their future lives and every member of the teaching staff highly skilled in how to support multilingual students in class to develop their language. We support the transition of students both from primary school to our school and from our school to college.  We are highly ambitious for our multilingual students, with many going on to gain outstanding outcomes enabling them to go on to higher level studies at university, including Masters and PhDs.

We celebrate all the languages spoken in our school and encourage students to value and develop their language skills, through support to achieve GCSE qualifications in their language, the Young Interpreters Scheme, translation competitions, European Day of Languages, displays around school, International Mother Language day, in-class activities and more.

We also celebrate and value the wide variety of cultures represented in our school community through our diverse curriculum, displays, assemblies, Black History Month, activities such as Culturefest, Roma Festival and many more.
