The original school on this site was Parkside secondary modern which was an all boys school. The headmaster for much of the time was Mr C Wadsworth

It was previously a foundation school administered by Leeds City Council and The Learning Trust (South Leeds). The Learning trust also includes Beeston Primary School, Clapgate Primary School, Hugh Gaitskell Primary School, Lane End Primary School, Middleton Primary School, Middleton St Mary's CE Primary School, St Philip's RC Primary School and Westwood Primary School.[2] However Cockburn School was converted to academy status in February 2016. The school is now part of a multi-academy trust, and hopes that other schools within The Learning Trust (South Leeds) will convert to academy status and join the trust, whilst continuing to work closely with the partner schools.[3]

Cockburn School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.[4] The school also has a specialism in the performing arts.
