History


The Leigh Academy occupies the former site of the Downs secondary school. In 1990 it became the Leigh City Technology College, when it opened as one of the original 15 City Technology Colleges.[3] In September 2007, The Leigh became an academy. In May 2013, the Academy's Ofsted ratings were reduced from outstanding to good.[4]



Academy


In January 2008 students and staff moved into the new school. The official opening of the academy took place on 20 June 2008 led by Lord Coe.[5]


The academy is split into four colleges: Brunel, Da Vinci, Darwin and Chaucer. Each College has its own Principal and Vice Principal.


The academy provides a 350-seat lecture theatre, where assemblies and other lectures take place; a restaurant with school meals - provided by Cucina; open-planned learning plazas, a sports hall, where many indoor sports, like basketball and tennis are played and taught; drama and dance studios, that are ideal for rehearsal; and a gym.
