Laureate Academy is a secondary school in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.

In 2018, Cavendish School closed and reopened as Laureate Academy; the takeover was part of an expansion of Lord Nash's Future Academies multi-academy trust[2] which controversially extended to other schools in Hertfordshire in 2019 despite concerns about the trust's governance[3] and despite parents' opposition.

[4] Concerns were raised about the introduction of compulsory Latin at Laureate Academy, with parents fearing the trust planned a grammar school-type emphasis on academic rather than vocational options.

[5] In 2022, an outdated teaching block was demolished to be replaced by a new building and a new multi-use games area.

[7] All Year 7-11 students are divided into four Houses, each named after a Greek god/goddess: Zeus, Apollo, Hera, and Athena.
