Oriel High School is a maintained community secondary school and sixth form for pupils aged 11 to 16, and 16 to 18 respectively. It opened in September 2004 as part of a reorganisation of secondary education in Crawley, catering for just 370 pupils in years 7 and 8. It was expected to grow to around 1450 pupils by 2009. It then grew to roughly 1600 students by 2015, and expanded once more to 2100 students in 2021, significantly oversubscribed due to only 1450 places available. This has reduced by 500 since 2024, but did lead to some classes being taken in the main hall due to class size this continues to date.
