How come people from Leeds can have vastly different accents?

I go to a private school in Leeds, and the accents there are very varied, so I’m not sure that it’s completely down to class. My dad was from London but my mum was a geordie, so I have a kind of neutral accent! Not really from anywhere. Some people I know have proper Yorkshire accents, some have the Leeds accent, and some are very proper, so I don’t know. It’s down to upbringing, and the accent of your parents.
