Highcrest Academy, formerly known as Highcrest Community School and before that as Hatters Lane School, is situated on Hatters Lane Hill in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. It is currently led by the Headteacher Mr G Burke after Miss Sheena Moynihan turned the school around from being on the edge of closure. In November 2010 it was judged to be an 'outstanding' school by Ofsted. In July 2011 the school became an Academy and was renamed to reflect its new status.It is a mixed secondary school, which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18.In September 2006 the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Technology.Highcrest Community School is one of several Buckinghamshire schools which host mobile phone masts.
