The Hazeley School is an 11 to 19 secondary school located in Hazeley on the western edge of Milton Keynes, United Kingdom.

Construction of the school began in 2004 on land that had been previously designated for industrial use. As a new school project, the building is being pieced together in several phases, as the population grows. The current building is formed in a T shape.

Originally planned to open in September 2005, the building work of Phase One was hit by problems^[1]. This phase consisted of the main spine - containing the two-floor library, gym, sports hall, dining room and music department - and the first teaching wing.

Phase II opened in September 2007 adding another teaching wing and expanding the Learning Centre.

Phase III is due for completion in 2010 and will add a further teaching wing, sports pavilion and training restaurant, Sixth Form and further specialist facilities. The school will then reach its planned capacity.

Originally opened as a Community School by Milton Keynes LEA, following parent consultation the Hazeley School became a Foundation School on 1st January 2007. The school is seeking to become a Specialist school, specifically as a Humanities College. The current head teacher is Mr Denning.

As the Hazeley building grows, so will the amount of students. Phases I and II are built and Phase III is coming. At the moment the school's highest year group is Year 10 (Sept 2007) but as the school develops it will eventually stretch to Sixth Form.

The school has a large field at the back which has 4 football pitches and a rugby pitch as well. Situated at the back of the field is a small conservation area, which is dedicated to the Great Crested Newt. Soon after the Easter Break there will be a few beehives for the school's BeeKeeping club.
