St Paul's Catholic College is a mixed-sex Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form located in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England.[1]
History
The College first opened on 9 September 1963 as a modern secondary school serving the Mid-Sussex area. It was originally situated in the nearby town of Haywards Heath but relocated to its current site at the northwestern edge of Burgess Hill in September 2004.
In April 2013, the College was appointed as a National Teaching School and National Support School by the Department for Education.
The school had around 1,850 students in 2014.
Previously a voluntary aided school administered by West Sussex County Council, in January 2022 St Paul's Catholic College converted to academy status. It is now sponsored by the Bosco Catholic Education Trust[2] and continues to be under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.
