Andrew Marvell College is a coeducational secondary school located in Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[1] The school is named after Andrew Marvell, a 17th century metaphysical poet and politician.

The school opened in 1953 as Barham High School and was exclusively for girls. The school was later renamed Andrew Marvell School and became coeducational. Today it is a foundation school administered by Hull City Council and The Pioneer Trust,[2] and offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils.

Andrew Marvell College moved into new buildings in January 2013.[3] Since this time the school has made its facilities (mainly sports facilities) available to the local community outside of school hours.[4]
