The Burgess Hill Academy

The Burgess Hill Academy (formerly Oakmeeds Community College) is a mixed secondary academy located in central Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England.

Oakmeeds celebrated its semicentennial in 2005. According to Ofsted, in 2010 there were 1059 students at Oakmeeds, between age 11 and 16. The Ofsted report in 2004 classed Oakmeeds as a "Good School" and in 2008 classed Oakmeeds as a "Borderline to Good School". It was recognised as a Business and Enterprise College and also has Eco School status and the Sportsmark. GCSE results were generally below average. In 2014 it was rated as inadequate by Ofsted and put in Special Measures.

Oakmeeds took its name from the oak trees in the school grounds, running along the path of a Roman road, and from Meeds Pottery, which stood there before Oakmeeds was built. It mainly serves Burgess Hill; but also has students from nearby villages, including Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint, as well as the City of Brighton and Hove area, and Haywards Heath, to the north.

At the end of 2008, T block suffered substantial damage to one side as a result of an arson attack. The arsonist, a former pupil at the school who was convicted in March 2011, destroyed art and RE coursework and put half of T block out of action until September 2010.

In August/September 2016, Oakmeeds closed and reopened as The Burgess Hill Academy, sponsored by the University of Brighton Academies Trust.
