AKS Lytham (AKS), is a private co-educational day school located on the Fylde, Lancashire, England. It is based on a coastal 35-acre site in Lytham St Annes. AKS Lytham is a member of HMC and a part of the United Church Schools Trust family of schools.

AKS is a member of the Round Square group of schools, a network of more than 200 schools in 50 countries. The school also provides an on-site Forest Schools programme within the Prep School grounds. The school hosts lectures for the Lytham St Annes Classical Association, the largest branch of the Classical Association set up by a former student.

AKS Lytham was formed from the merger of King Edward VII and Queen Mary School (KEQMS) in Lytham St. Annes and Arnold School in Blackpool. In 2000, KEQMS was formed from the merger of King Edward VII School, Lytham and Queen Mary School, meaning that AKS Lytham was formed from four schools. The school was branded as ArnoldKEQMS from 2012 to 2014 and is now known as AKS Lytham.

The quality of education at AKS Lytham for the Prep School, Senior School, and Sixth Form was rated as Excellent in all areas (ISI, 2022),[full citation needed] with the Nursery rated as Outstanding (OFSTED 2023).[full citation needed] In 2023, 78% of A level grades were A*-B and 50% of grades were 9-7, earning recognition as one of the top ten Independent Schools in the North West (The Sunday Times, 2024).[full citation needed]

The AKS Lytham campus has a 35-acre coastal location, a site with playing fields, as well as an artificial all weather sports ground. The school allows for external hire of their facilities.

The school's campus caters for ages 0–18, with a Nursery, Prep School, Senior School, and Sixth Form.

During the school merger of 2011-2012, it was announced that Jim Keefe, headmaster of Arnold from 2010, would take the helm of the newly formed AKS Lytham, leaving KEQMS Headmaster Robert Karling to step down.
