The Chalk Hills Academy (formerly Halyard High School, Barnfield West Academy and West Academy) is a Mixed secondary school and sixth form, part of Advantage Schools located in the west of Luton in Bedfordshire, England.
Halyard High School converted to academy status on 1 September 2007 and became part of the Barnfield Federation. Many school buildings were renovated as part of Building Schools for the Future programme.
In 2015 the school split with the Barnfield Federation and was part of The Shared Learning Trust. The school was subsequently renamed West Academy for a short time before being renamed The Chalk Hills Academy in December 2015. On 1 September the academy joined Advantage Schools after The Shared Learning Trust merged with Advantage Schools.
