History

The school was founded in 1859 as a national church school. Originally on De la Warr Road, where Chequer Mead lies today, in 1951 the school was renamed Sackville and in 1964, it was moved to its current location on Lewes Road. 1970 saw the school's first comprehensive intake, following the rapidly growing local housing estate building developments. In 2004, Sackville's name was changed back from Sackville Community College to Sackville School. The school's emblem is the red rose of the Duchy of Lancaster of which East Grinstead was once a part. [4]

In 2007, a new building on the site was constructed. It contains a large sports hall, gym, multiple offices and four classrooms.

Current headteacher Jo Meloni joined the school in 2022. [5] There are seven year groups including a Sixth Form for years twelve and thirteen.

The school's most recent Ofsted inspection was in 2024, [6] a two day inspection confirming the schools 2019 grade of “good”.
