Ringmer Secondary School opened in 1958, serving the local area and surrounding towns and villages. Ringmer County Secondary School gained recognition for its work with the community, including evening classes for adults. The school also gained recognition for its
brass band. The original school building received a
Civic Trust Award for its design. The library was built in 1973 as the number of pupils rose as a result of the school leaving age being raised to 16. The secondary school became a Community College when the former
prime minister Lord Callaghan formally opened the school. ==Sixth form==
