History

Angley School was established in 1971 by the merger of Mary Sheafe School for Girls (on the current site) and Swattenden Secondary School for Boys (based at Swattenden House). The school is well-known locally for its on-site farm.

The Mary Sheafe Hall and Swattenden Hall are named after the schools which were merged to form Angley School.

Angley School became the first Specialist Sports College in Kent in 2000. The school benefits from the facilities at the adjacent Weald Sports Centre.

Angley School became The High Weald Academy on 1 September 2012, sponsored by The Brook Learning Trust

    A 2001 Ofsted inspection found Angley School to be 'satisfactory'. In addition, A 2011 Ofsted Inspection found the school to be making 'Good' progress. These inspections took place before the conversion to High Weald Academy. It has since been inspected twice, most recently in November 2016 when the rating was "requires improvement".
