The Thomas Alleyne Academy is an Academy in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. It was founded in 1558,^[1] when the original school was set up from the will of Thomas Alleyne. It become an Academy in 2013.

It is situated at the northern end of Stevenage High Street, in Stevenage Old Town, adjacent to the roundabout of the A1072 and the A602 (former A1), and more than 200 metres to the east of the East Coast Main Line.

The Academy has 180 in each year group and is a popular school, with Year 7 places usually oversubscribed. The school was inspected by Ofsted in October 2019 and retained a 'Good' rating.

In 2017 the school converted all lighting to LED; a project funded by The Educational Social Enterprise Fund for LED Lighting.^[2] In the same year the school moved their heating system from gas to Biomass fuel. The biomass system is fuelled with wood pellets obtained from sustainable forests.  In the summer of 2020, the 1950s science block was completely renovated using a Capital Improvement Fund government grant, upgrading the outdated 1950s labs to state of the art new facilities.

The current head teacher at the Thomas Alleyne Academy is Mr Mark Lewis. Mark Lewis is also the Managing Director of the Hart Schools Trust, a Multi-Academy Trust incorporating Roebuck Academy in Stevenage.
