About Leek High School
Leek High School is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational, 13-18, secondary academy situated in Leek, Staffordshire. The school has a joint sixth form with Westwood College.
The history of the school dates back to 1891 when the Leek Technical Instruction Committee formed to plan a programme of evening classes and identify a site for a Technical School to deliver them in. In 1897 the Town Council agreed that plans for the Technical School building should be modified to include a co-educational secondary day school. Leek High School received its first students in September of 1900. In 1965 the national reorganisation of schools to create modern comprehensives led to the school moving again to present site on Springfield Road occupying the buildings of the former Mountside Boys’ School and Milner Girls’ School.
