Ansford Academy, previously known as Ansford School, is a school located in Ansford, which lies on the northern edge of Castle Cary in Somerset, England. The current head teacher is Duncan Powell.[1] In July 2011, the school became an Academy.

The main school building was completed in 1940 in a Neo-Georgian style. Additional classrooms for Science, Technology, Modern Languages, Art, ICT and a block for mathematics were added between the 70’s-90’s. A new £1.7 million Sports Centre was completed in 2005.[2]

In the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place between the 2nd and 3rd March 2022, a 'good' rating was given for every assessed category including overall effectiveness.[3]

The associated sixth form college for Ansford Academy is Strode College.
