Former school built in 1859, originally as a National School, expanding in 1885 to include an elementary school. In 1959 the secondary part was renamed as Sackville School before that moved to its present site on the corner of Bourg-de-Peage Avenue and Lewes Road in 1964 (see Image). Chequer Mead County Primary School remained on the site until 1990 when it moved to Estcots Primary School, situated opposite Sackville School, although some pupils had already moved there in 1973 because of overcrowding. In 1994 a theatre was built on part of the site, the original building being retained as a reception foyer and for studio rooms. The near section houses the town's police station.
