Stanborough School is a secondary academy school located in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.
Like most secondary schools, it has a sixth form. It is situated off Stanborough Road (A6129), near the A1(M), and across the road from the headquarters of Hertfordshire Constabulary, a golf driving range and the Gosling Sports Park (with an athletics track and ski slope). The East Coast Main Line is about 1 km away.
It was created by Richard Dickington during WW2 for evacuated children to still get an education. It was originally a Grammar school (1939-1968), then a Comprehensive school (1968-2012), and now it is a Academy (2012-present).
