Foxwood School

Foxwood School was a Comprehensive school in Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1956 and closed 40 years later in 1996.

Foxwood School was the first comprehensive school in Leeds and opened on 4 September 1956 under the Headship of Mr M R Rowlands. It was built as part of the development of the Seacroft Housing Estate which, with a population of about 18,000, is one of the largest council estates in the country. The history of Foxwood is inextricably linked to that of the estate which it served. The school originally occupied the buildings which later became Parklands Girls High School for 2 years, before moving, in 1958, into the partly completed building on a 32-acre site at the east end of South Parkway, on Brooklands View. The plan was to take 300 boys a year until its capacity of 1500 pupils was reached.
The school was officially opened on 5 February 1959 by the Rt Hon. Hugh Gaitskell, MP for Leeds South.
