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 Karl Musson.https://ansford.org.uk/about-us/our-headteacher/ 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.ansford.somerset.sch.uk/facilities.html |title=Ansford School Facilities |publisher=Ansford School |access-date=23 January 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225051925/http://www.ansford.somerset.sch.uk/facilities.html |archive-date=25 February 2009 |url-status = dead}}
