Very excited about the progress of our brand new Pudsey Sixth Form College with Leeds City College & Luminate in partnership with Red Kite Learning Trust, Co-operative Academies MAT and White Rose MAT. It will provide a more cohesive post-16 landscape in Pudsey, West Leeds, and beyond. #Luminate

Consultation Launches to Improve Safety and Accessibility along Burley Street, Park Lane and Westgate
News from Leeds City Council
