Seaford Head School (formerly Seaford Head Community College), in Seaford, East Sussex, England, is a co-educational secondary school with academy status for students aged 11 to 16 years, with a sixth form centre for students aged 16 to 18.

The school opened in 1938 as Seaford County Modern School, becoming Seaford County Secondary School in 1949. It became a comprehensive in 1972, became Seaford Head Community College in 1993, acquired Trust status in 2011 and in 2012 became an Academy as Seaford Head School.[http://www.seafordhead.e-sussex.sch.uk/history.php History], Who We Are, Seaford Head School, retrieved 12 January 2015. Due to increasing competition from the larger Sussex Downs College conglomerate, the sixth form closed in 2009; a new Sixth Form Centre opened in 2014.[http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/county-news/sixth-form-plan-for-seaford-gets-the-go-ahead-1-5626192 "Sixth form plan for Seaford gets the go ahead"], Sussex Express, 27 October 2013. The school was in Ofsted special measures from 2004 to 2006.[http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/114589 Ofsted reports, Seaford Head Community College] An Ofsted inspection was carried out in October 2010 and the school was judged "Good with many outstanding features" and was reassessed in 2017 and deemed “outstanding”.
