Hessle High School is an academy school in Hessle, East Riding of Yorkshire near Hull, England. The school has a Specialist Science College status.

The School's Heads Lane site is centred on Tranby House, originally built in 1807 by local merchant John Barkworth. The house is an almost exact duplicate of the now-demolished Tranby House, and Hessle Mount, now a private junior school. Tranby House was the home of Algernon Barkworth, a descendant of John Barkworth, who survived the sinking of the Titanic.^[1]

The school is split over two sites. Years 7 and 8 are located on Boothferry Road, with years 9 and above, including sixth form college students, on Heads Lane. It is in a federation with Hessle Penshurst Primary School, and has arrangements with local gymnasiums, including Total Fitness, for Year 10 and 11 Physical Education lessons.^{[citation needed]} Since achieving academy status (The Hessle Academy Community Trust), the sixth form remains part of a consortium with Wolfreton School and Cottingham High School.^[2] Pupils study post-16 courses at partnership schools.

During Ofsted's school inspection in April, 2013, the school was rated "Requires improvement (Grade 3)" in all aspects. Ofsted carried out a further Section 8 Inspection in June, 2013, and most shortfalls found during April's inspection still exist.^[3]

In September 2012 the school uniform became a white shirt with tie, with a choice of v-neck, cardigan or slipover, and a blazer, all with the school logo. Black trousers and black shoes are worn. Sixth formers have a clothing option of choice.
