William Parker Sports College, formerly known as Hastings Grammar School, and later as William Parker School, is a secondary school in Hastings, East Sussex. It is now the only all-boys' secondary school in East Sussex, and has achieved specialist Sports College status.
It takes boys from age 11 to age 16, and there is a separate Sixth form which is shared with Helenswood School, a local girls' school. There are over a thousand boys in years 7–11 and about three hundred boys and girls in the shared sixth form. Helenswood has places for 1100 girls in years 7-11. Other local secondary schools include the co-educational Hillcrest, The Grove and Filsham Valley.
Ofsted report in 2009 says
"The college has come through a period of considerable change in the last 18 months, including the appointment of a headteacher and three deputy headteachers. A fundamental restructuring of teaching and support staff has been successfully achieved. The newly formed senior leadership team is growing in confidence and beginning to operate as a cohesive group with a shared vision for improvement. The headteacher has a clear view of the strengths and weaknesses of the college. He is driving through improvements in systems and practices with energy and determination but they are not yet embedded and making an impact in all areas of the colleges performance.''
