Liberty Academy, formerly Archbishop Sentamu Academy, is a mixed Church of England secondary school and sixth form located in the Preston Road Estate of Kingston upon Hull, England.[1] The school used to be named after John Sentamu, who, at the time, was the Archbishop of York.
History

In 1988 the school became Archbishop Thurstan Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. The school converted to academy status in 2008 and was renamed Archbishop Sentamu Academy. Rebuilding works at the school as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme were completed in 2011.[2]
