Eastbourne Church of England (CofE) Academy is an academy school in Darlington, United Kingdom. The school has a capacity for 700 post-primary students, aged between 11 and 16. Formerly known as Eastbourne Comprehensive School, it underwent major changes during the summer of 2007 and reopened as an academy, supported by the sponsorship of Airtours founders David and Anne Crossland and the Diocese of Durham.

In 2009 the school is slated to move into a new building, built on an 19-acre field behind the existing school.[1] A possible design for the new building is currently in review by the local authorities. Currently, the plans include a star-shaped, modular two-floor building, with access from major local roads.
