Erasmus Darwin Academy (previously Chasetown High School, then Chasetown Specialist Sports College) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status in the Chasetown area of Burntwood in Staffordshire, England.
Chasetown High School opened in 1970. Its gym was attacked by arsonists in 2004 and had to be rebuilt. This work was completed in 2006, following which the school bought a field opposite Pool Road as an extension for more field activities. The road was closed and now is part of the school grounds. After the new gym was built the school gained Specialist Sports College status.
