University Academy Holbeach is a academy currently on two sites one in Crowland, and the other being Holbeach in England.
The academy was established in 2011 following the closure of The St Guthlacs School in Crowland and George Farmer Technology and Language College in Holbeach. The academy has been created with the sponsorship of the University of Lincoln which already runs its National Centre for Food Manufacturing directly next to the site of the academy in Holbeach.
The creation of the academy has been controversial particularly in the Crowland areas as by September 2013 the town will know longer have its own Secondary Education institution resulting in pupils having to travel to either Holbeach, Spalding, Deeping St James or Peterborough.
