Daubeney Academy (formerly Daubeney Middle School) is an 11–16 coeducational secondary school located in Kempston, Bedfordshire, England. It was established in 1972 and is part of the Chiltern Learning Trust.[3] [4]

History

It converted to an academy in April 2012 and renamed Daubeney Academy. It became a secondary school after changing its age range to 11–16 following a three-year transition that began in 2017.[5] [6]
