History

The school opened in 1960 as the Hockley County Secondary School, with pupils from both Hockley, Hullbridge and Ashingdon primary schools who were selected for the first year and a second year of Hockley pupils who previously went to Rayleigh Secondary. It became Greensward School in 1967, and then Greensward College in the late 1990s; the school kept this name until 2008 when it achieved Academy status.[5] Greensward Academy is the lead academy of the Academies Enterprise Trust, a multi-academy sponsor.
