The Academy Selsey (formerly Manhood Community College and Manhood Secondary Modern School) is an academy in the public sector and as such is independent of the Local Authority. It is part of the Kemnal Academies Trust (a Multi Academy Trust that oversees a number of secondary and primary schools).[1] The school was opened by the Duke of Norfolk in September 1963,[2] and was once the second smallest high school in West Sussex. It caters for up to 750 pupils in Years 7 to 11.[1] It became an academy on 1 September 2011.[3]

On 21 August 2016 a fire broke out at the Academy causing extensive damage. [4]
