Montsaye Academy is a large Academy in Rothwell, England. It is privately funded, as an academy and was granted dual specialty status in late 2004, adding Humanities to its well established Language College status. Mr Jason Cumming is the current principal. The school received a good review from OFSTED in 2013. Montsaye is also the site of the recently developed Rothwell Swimming Pool, which now incorporates a modern sports centre used by the community and the school.

History
The original school was opened in 1955, but the older buildings have been extensively remodeled. Since becoming a comprehensive school in 1976 Montsaye has more than doubled in size and has had a series of major building extensions.
In 2004/05 extensive building work took place which has provided additional teaching areas for Mathematics and Science, an I.C.T suite, refurbished administrative accommodation and a visitor reception area. In addition, the sixth form area was remodeled in order to provide a purpose built educational support center, new laboratories and an extension to the library to provide study facilities and a resource base. More recently a major project funded by the Big Lottery has provided the college and community with a sports facility consisting of four badminton courts, a sports hall and a refurbished swimming pool. In 2011 a new block coasting £6 million was constructed to the north of the school to cater for engineering diploma students. However, it was not possible to be used as such and this block is now the sixth form centre, as well as containing a gym for public use. The old site of the sixth form centre has now been converted into an extra music classroom and a new canteen.
The college was granted Language College status in September 2000 and in addition, in September 2004, was also granted Humanities College status as a second specialism. Around 2007 the school was granted a third status and that was Vocational College Status. In 2009 the main school website went under construction and has now changed. The new look is said to be a lot easier and that it provides mass of information including virtual tours of a few classrooms.
On the first of August 2011 the college was converted to an Academy. Prior to this conversion the school was known as "Montsaye Community College".
