Caludon Castle School is an academy in Wyken, Coventry, England. The school was founded in 1954 as a boys' comprehensive school, but is now a co-educational 11-18 comprehensive school with a sixth form.{{cite web|url=http://www.caludoncastle.co.uk/about_school.html|title=About our School|publisher=Caludon Castle School|accessdate=18 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120928234556/http://www.caludoncastle.co.uk/about_school.html|archive-date=28 September 2012|url-status = dead}} In September 2004, the school was designated as a Business and Enterprise College, by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.

The previous buildings dating from the 1950s were demolished to make way for a new £24 million PFI project resulting in the school being totally rebuilt.{{cite news|url=http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/pfi-holds-up-coventrys-caludon-3038041|title=PFI holds up Coventry's Caludon Castle School's academy bid|newspaper=Coventry Telegraph|first=Les|last=Reid|date=26 September 2011|accessdate=8 September 2015}} The school is situated on a {{convert|67|acre|m2|adj=on}} site.
