History.
Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Secondary School opened in March 1968. At the time of its opening, the school was noted for containing a telephone on one of its corridors which could be used by students and visitors.
In September 2001 Corpus Christi became the first Inner City Leeds High School to gain Specialist School status when it became a Technology College. In 2005 the school became a member of the Specialist Schools Most Improved Schools' Club for the second occasion. It was awarded a School Achievement Award in 2003 and a recognition for the Healthy Schools Scheme.
In November 2006 the school was rated as overall Grade 2 (Good) by Ofsted, while, the same month, awarding it Grade 1 (Outstanding).
Between 2009 and 2013, with funds from the UK Government and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds, the school was refurbished and modernised.
Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Leeds City Council, in April 2021 Corpus Christi Catholic College converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the St Gregory the Great Catholic Academy Trust.
