Soar Valley College is an 11–16 coeducational secondary school located in Leicester, Leicestershire, England.
It was designated a Maths and Computing specialist college in September 2004.

It became co-educational in 2016 and has one acre of land. The school has a lanyard system with different colours to show the different years.
