King's Lynn Academy (formerly "The Park High School") is one of the three secondary (11-16 or 18) schools in the West Norfolk town of King's Lynn. It is situated on Queen Mary Road in the Gaywood area of King's Lynn. The school opened in 1939, originally with separate schools for boys and girls. Until 1997 it was known as Gaywood Park High School.
The school has a strong rivalry with King Edward VII School as the schools are separated by a cycle path.
