Joyce Frankland Academy, Newport, formerly Newport Free Grammar School, is a school in Newport, Essex, England. It was founded in 1588.[1] The school is a mixedsecondary school with a sixth form.

As of 2012, there were 987 students, including 160 in the sixth form.[2]
It takes its current name (since 2012) after Dame Joyce Frankland (1531-1588), the only daughter of goldsmith Robert Trappes, who founded it as the "free Grammer Schole of Newport". Dame Frankland also made a number of educational bequests in her will to colleges at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
The school achieved SpecialistLanguage College status in July 2003 from DfES and has been a Language College since September 2003.[3] The school achieved a second specialism in Science, commencing 1 September 2008 but this was later lost.
The school converted to academy status on 1 September 2012.
