William Allitt Academy (formerly William Allitt School), is a co-educational secondary school located in the village of Newhall, Swadlincote in South Derbyshire, England.

Due to subsidence from mining, it relocated to a new site in 1959, and was renamed after local councillor William Allitt.

[2] Previously a community school administered by Derbyshire County Council,[3] in September 2022 William Allitt School converted to academy status and was renamed The William Allitt Academy.

The school is now sponsored by the Falcon Education Academies Trust.

Prior to the arrival of Cooper the school had endured difficult times, eventually falling into special measures when inspected by Ofsted in 2014.
