Swaffham Hamond's High School is a secondary school in Swaffham, Norfolk, England.
The headteacher, Mrs. Yvonne Srodzinski who took over from Robert Young in 2002, has been suspended as of May 2009. Stuart Bailey has been appointed as the Interim Headteacher.[2]
The school is in the south of the town, on the western side of the A1065, next to the leisure centre. A building project to expand the school and integrate the sixth form on the same site was completed in July 2009.

Originally the school was Hamond's Grammar School and the grammar school building served as the sixth form centre until July 2009.
The school became a comprehensive in 1976.
In 2009 the school considered becoming a Foundation School, but due to lack of support for the proposal within the key stakeholder groups and surrounding community, the Governors decided not to proceed with the proposed change.
The school is well known locally for its Rock Nights, organised by Alan Wright.
As of 2009 the school began running an enrichment programme where students participate in an activity or learning opportunity outside the standard taught curriculum. Sixth Formers and Year 11 students have the option to attend study sessions, instead of (as the rest of the school do) extra-curricular activities.[3]
