History
The school was founded in 1857 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 moved to its current location on Lewes Road. 1970 saw the school’s first comprehensive intake and following the rapidly growing local housing estates building developments followed. 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.
The headteacher is Julian Grant. There are seven year groups, including a sixth form of two years. Each year group has a year tutor (Head of Year), who follows the year group up until Year 11.
In 2015, the school was rated good by Ofsted.
