Abbey Grange Church of England High School is a secondary school located in West Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is the only Church of England aided secondary school in Leeds.

Various other forms of the name are currently in use on the school's own website and in official lists, including Abbey Grange Church of England High School Humanities College, Abbey Grange High School Humanities College, Abbey Grange High School, Abbey Grange Humanities College and Abbey Grange School, but Abbey Grange Church of England High School is used by Education Leeds[1]and OFSTED.

The school has around 1000 students between the ages of 11 and 18, and 80 members of staff.

The school was awarded Humanities College status in 2006. Miss Helen Yarrow was appointed the Head of Humanities. Due to the new status many departments were repositioned in the school to allow more rooms for humanities lessons.

In 2010, headteacher Mr Alan Key retired. The previous deputy head Mrs Carol Kitson took over as headteacher.

In 2010, vertical tutoring was also introduced to the school.

In August 2011 the school gained Academy status and is now known as 'Abbey Grange Church of England Academy'

Abbey Grange recently underwent Ofsted investigation and was evaluated very favourably in all areas, and particularly in its Christian ethos. The school's ethos is to "educate, nurture and empower".
