Northampton Academy (formerly Lings Upper School) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form in Northampton, Northamptonshire for students aged 11 to 18. Since September 2004, it has been an Academy.
The school is annexed to the Lings Forum leisure centre. It is part of United Learning, a subsidiary of the United Church Schools Trust (UCST), a large education charity which owns and operates a group of 11 independent schools. It claims to be fully inclusive and both welcome and respect students and staff of all faiths and none. From an aerial view, the school outline is supposed to resemble a fish, to represent the school's Christian ethos.
There are five houses at the Academy, named after influential figures with local ties.
