'Wrenn Academy' is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England. It was established in 1975, and occupies the campus of the former Wellingborough Grammar School, founded in 1930, at which British television personality David Frost was a pupil.

Wrenn Academy is a split-site school, with the two parts of its campus being a short walk apart. One part of the school is sited on the A5193 (former A509) in the south of the town, just west of the hospital (52°17′47″N 0°41′19″W / 52.2963°N 0.6887°W / 52.2963; -0.6887 (Wrenn School, London Road site)Coordinates: 52°17′47″N 0°41′19″W / 52.2963°N 0.6887°W / 52.2963; -0.6887 (Wrenn School, London Road site)). The other main site is situated on Doddington Road (52°17′45″N 0°41′41″W / 52.2959°N 0.6948°W / 52.2959; -0.6948 (Wrenn School, Doddington Road site)), a few minutes from the London Road site. The Doddington Road site, which was formerly the boy's grammar school, houses years 9-11 along with the Art and Design Technology buildings, and in London Road the site of the former girl's grammar school is attended by years 7-8 and the school's sixth form. The school has a wide range of buildings ranging from 4 to 100 years old. The oldest buildings are those of the former grammar school, while the most modern addition being the music block, constructed in 2006.
