Leodis Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust registered in West Yorkshire, operating primary and secondary schools under SIC codes for primary and general secondary education. Evidence confirms it runs Hill Top Primary Academy, described on its own website as a one-form entry community school in West Ardsley that is part of Leodis Academies Trust. As a trust, it oversees governance, staffing and educational provision across its member academies rather than delivering services itself as a single school. The registered office is given as another academy within the trust, Woodkirk Academy, consistent with its role as the central trust entity rather than an individual school.
