A primary school is set to be taken over by a west Leeds-based chain of academies.
Fountain Primary in Morley will become part of the Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) from next month.
Leeds City Council reached a Commercial Transfer Agreement (CTA) with the Pudsey-based trust over the future of the primary.
A council report said the transfer would help pupils at the primary realise their educational potential.
It said: “The local authority has a duty to promote high standards and champion educational excellence.”
The CTA agreement allows for the formal transfer of the school to Owlcotes MAT, based at Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School.
A council report said: “The CTA deals with the transfer of the assets, staff, and contracts from the council and the governing body to the new academy trust.
“The academy conversion will take place on 1 April.”
Fountain Primary is the latest school to become part of Owlcotes MAT after Morley Victoria Primary School joined last September.
Spring Bank Primary School in Headingley previously joined the trust in May last year.
