About the school
“Our ethos is fundamental to Garforth Academy. Every student will be asked to immerse themselves in ‘Our 10 Core Values’; values that the Academy feels all students should demonstrate throughout their daily routines, and are essential to being part of a community.”
Established school - open since before 2010. Became an academy in November 2010, continuing the school that was already there.
