King's Leadership Academy Hawthornes (formerly The Hawthorne's Free School) is a secondary free school located on Fernhill Road in Bootle, Merseyside, England, about four miles (6.4 km) from Liverpool city centre.

The school rebranded in September 2012, on the site of the former St George of England Specialist Engineering College (previously St George of England High School & St George of England County Secondary School).

This was despite Sefton Council declaring that staff from the former schools should be subject to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, and either be offered continuing employment at the new school or redundancy.
