At Cookridge Primary School we aim to develop in our children a genuine love of learning and a set of values which will serve them well in their future lives.

We have a school characterised by excellence in learning and teaching, where our professional team engage in constantly developing their skills to address the needs of the children and a commitment to achievement for all.

We aim to provide educational excellence in a safe and supportive environment which provides every child with the opportunity to reach their full potential, and to work in partnership with parents to achieve this.

We aim to be an inclusive school which respects all children equally regardless of ability, gender, ethnic background or creed. We expect and encourage our children to maintain the ‘Cookridge Code' which embodies our belief in the value of mutual respect in our community.

Cookridge Primary School was originally opened in January 1960 with 7 classes of children between 5 and 8 years of age. Since that time it has been extended and, in 1992, closed and immediately reopened as a 5 - 11 primary school as part of Leeds City Council's programme of reorganisation.

In September 2005 we moved into a beautiful  new school building provided through the Private Finance Initiative. The building has a ‘state of the art' Foundation area comprising large well equipped Early Years and Reception facilities.

You can find Cookridge five miles north-west from Leeds city centre.  Since the 1930s the area has been developed by local builders and is now largely a residential suburb. We are however extremely close to the countryside with the children being able to enjoy beautiful views across to Otley and .... from some of their classrooms. You can also still find the remains of a Roman road that existed between Cookridge and the village of Bramhope.
