Harlington Upper School is a mixed rural, comprehensive school located in Dunstable, Bedfordshire for students between the ages of 13 and 18.

The school holds Specialist Science College status.

Harlington Upper was established in 1973 and in 2007 a house-based approach to student support was developed which includes mixed-age or "vertical" tutor groups. This complements the invitation for Harlington to become the Deep Support Hub for the Eastern Region. The school is now one of only 9 schools nationally to have this status.

The majority of students come from three Bedfordshire middle schools: Arnold, Parkfields and Robert Bloomfield. The students mainly live in the villages near Harlington including: Harlington, Harlington Mill, Sharpenhoe, Barton-le-Clay, Silsoe, Clophill, Toddington, Westoning, Greenfield, Flitwick, Luton, and Chalton.

Most students join the school in year 9, aged 13. They take Key Stage 3 SATs in year 9 and GCSE exams in year 11, aged 16. Most students stay on at the school after GCSEs and join a large sixth form of over 300.
