Lord Grey Academy is a comprehensive co-educational Academy in West Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
Lord Grey has four school houses: Lorenz, Enigma, Colossus and Turing, whose names relate to World War II code-breaking work at Bletchley Park. The first two of the house names refer to German enciphering machines and the third to the world's first programmable electronic digital computer that helped 'crack' their codes. Alan Turing was a British scientist at Bletchley Park who developed the principles that led to the creation of Colossus. He also laid the groundwork for modern computing and artificial intelligence.
Lord Grey opened in 1973 as a community comprehensive school following the amalgamation of Bletchley Grammar and Wilton Secondary schools. New accommodation was provided to supplement the existing facilities. The school was incorporated as a Grant Maintained School on 1 April 1993 and moved to Foundation status on 1 September 1999, under the New Framework for Schools.
On 1st April 2018 the school changed its name to Lord Grey Academy and became part of the Tove Learning Trust, which is also part of the SWAN Teaching School Alliance.
The school was judged Good by Ofsted in 2014.
