South Axholme Academy is an academy school in Epworth, in the Isle of Axholme area of North Lincolnshire, England.
The school is on the A161, next to Epworth Leisure Centre, [1] and is in the North Lincolnshire Local education authority. South Axholme School Trust is operated by the school itself, the University of Lincoln, Bishop Grosseteste University and Lincolnshire Co-operative.[ citation needed ]
