King Edward VII Academy (known as KES Academy) is a large, mixed comprehensive secondary school in Gaywood Road (A148), King's Lynn, Norfolk, England with around 1,300 pupils, including about 300 in sixth form education.[1] Prior to the school year beginning in September 1979, KES was an all-boys state grammar school.

The school became an academy sponsored by the College of West Anglia's CWA Academy Trust in September 2014, but, following the college's withdrawal from school sponsorship in the summer of 2017, it became part of the Eastern Multi-academy Trust. The school joined Inspiration Trust in September 2021.
