Lynn Grove Academy (formerly Lynn Grove High School) is a secondary school with academy status, located in Gorleston in Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk. The school educates about 1,100 children between the ages of 11 and 16.

Following an Ofsted inspection in May 2015 the school was rated 'Requires Improvement'.[1]
