Noel-Baker Academy (formerly Noel-Baker Community School) is a co-educational secondary school located in Alvaston, Derby, England.

The school takes students from the Alvaston, Boulton and Crewton areas of Derby. In September 2004, the school was awarded specialist school status as a Language College by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).[1]

Previously a foundation school administered by Derby City Council, in February 2017, Noel-Baker Community School converted to academy status and was renamed Noel-Baker Academy. The school is now sponsored by the LEAD Multi-Academy Trust.

The school was named after Olympic silver medallist, Derby South MP and Nobel Peace prize winner, Philip Noel-Baker.
