Leigh Academy Halley is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status located on Corelli Road and near the Kidbrooke area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich in southeast London. It originally opened in 1954 as Kidbrooke Comprehensive School for Girls and was one of Britain's first purpose-built comprehensive schools. It started admitting boys in 1982. It changed its name to Corelli College (based on the name of road where the school is located) in September 2011 when it became an Academy. It adopted The Halley Academy (after Edmond Halley) in March 2018, when it joined the Leigh Academies Trust and changed to its current name in September 2024.
