Samuel Lister Academy (formerly Aire Valley School) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Bingley, West Yorkshire, England.[1] The school is named after Samuel Lister, 1st Baron Masham, an inventor and industrialist, notable for inventing the Lister nip comb.[2]

Previously a foundation school administered by Bradford City Council and the Nab Wood Community Trust, Aire Valley School converted to academy status in April 2012 and was renamed Samuel Lister Academy. The school is now sponsored by Bradford College Education Trust,[3] but continues to coordinate with Bradford City Council for admissions.

Samuel Lister Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[4] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[5] The school also has specialisms in science and the humanities.[6]
