Bishop Young Church of England Academy

Bishop Young Church of England Academy (formerly known as David Young Community Academy) is a state-funded academy sponsored by the Church of England in Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The school was named after David Young (1931–2008), a former Bishop of Ripon. The school was established on 18 September 2006 with pupils from Agnes Stewart Church of England High School and Braim Wood for Boys High School. These schools had both been in difficulties at the time of their closures. In June 2009 it was announced by School Secretary Ed Balls that £3.3 million would be spent on the school to create a purpose-built base for army and air cadets. Bishop Young Academy is part of the Abbey Multi Academy Trust. As of 2023, the trust includes eight primary and secondary academies in the Diocese of Leeds.
