You need to do an "Archive & Install" of Leopard.

"Archive and Install" moves existing system files to a folder named Previous
System and then installs Mac OS X again.

Just be sure to check Preserve Users and Network Settings when you select
Archive & Install.

Will I need to remove Leopard from the system first? (If so how do I
go about doing that?)
Or just run the archive & install on top how the system is at the
moment?

Just choose Archive and Install from the options that come up on the Leopard
installation CD.

It creates a new system folder, so it's side-by-side with the present one.
If all goes well subsequently and you want to save disk space, you can
delete the previous system in due course.
