AIM Academy North London is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Edmonton area of the London Borough of Enfield, England.

Originally known as Cuckoo Hall Secondary Modern school, it merged with the Houndsfield and Eldon secondary modern schools to become Mandeville Secondary Comprehensive School in 1967, becoming Salisbury School and then Turin Grove School. The school reopened in 2010 as Nightingale Academy; Nightingale was one of the first Mayor's academies to be established in London.

Nightingale Academy was judged “inadequate” by Ofsted and the school was then sponsored by AIM Academies Trust. It became AIM North London Academy in 2019 with Paddy McGrath as its first Principal. Clare Darley is the current Principal.

The school serves students aged 11-19, offering GCSEs and A Levels.
