Tollbar Academy is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form, with academy and specialist school status, located in New Waltham, North East Lincolnshire, England.
A secondary school with a sixth form, it serves 11- to 18-year-olds. The largest school in North East Lincolnshire, it has around 2300 pupils. The College lies on the border of North East Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire (East Lindsey), and is one mile south of Grimsby. Students come from Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and surrounding Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire villages.
The original school was opened in 1937 for 300 pupils. It became the Tollbar Secondary Modern School. Further expansion occurred in the 1970s, and has continued. It is situated on the junction of the A16 and B1219. The school later became Tollbar Business and Enterprise College, changing to Tollbar Business, Enterprise and Humanities College in 2008/9. In Autumn 2010 the school gained Academy status, once again changing its name to Tollbar Academy. It was one of the first to change to an Academy under the new legislation as implemented by the 2010 Coalition government.
In July 2002, it was awarded Business and Enterprise College status. In September 2004, it was awarded foundation school status. In October of the same year it announced that it was going to introduce a 5 term year. The sixth form is a partnership with Grimsby Institute of Further & Higher Education.
