Joseph Whitaker School is a secondary school with academy status in Rainworth near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in England. Over 1,300 students are taught there, by a staff body of over 100. The current headteacher is Carey Ayres, who took over from David Bell in 2020. The school takes its name from Joseph Whitaker, a naturalist who lived in Rainworth at Rainworth Lodge.^[1]^[2]

The school has its own sixth form college for post-16 A-Level studies. In November 2012, the school's flagship £1,000,000 sixth form centre opened. It contains teaching rooms, a media suite, various study areas and a café. All post-16 students have access to the school's on-site fitness suite as part of their membership to the sixth form.^{[citation needed]}
