Lawnswood School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Lawnswood area of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Its predecessors were the Leeds Modern School, a boys' grammar school (founded 1845) attended by Alan Bennett, and Lawnswood High School for Girls, a girls' grammar school (founded 1854), which moved to the current Lawnswood site in 1932.

The sixth form was judged as Grade 2 and "consistently good" in the 2009 Ofsted inspection, but the school as a whole was rated as Grade 4 (Inadequate) for overall effectiveness.

[2] During an early 2011 Ofsted visit, the school was judged to be "making good progress in all the key areas,"[3] and in July 2011 the school was taken out of special measures.

[4] In late 2013, Ofsted rated the school Grade 2 (Good) for overall effectiveness.
