Open Academy (formerly Heartsease High School) is a secondary school with academy status located in the Heartsease area of Norwich, in the English county of Norfolk.
The academy was first formed in September 2008, replacing Heartsease High School. Originally housed in the buildings of the former school, Open Academy moved to new buildings in September 2010. It is a Christian school that is sponsored by the Bishop of Norwich and businessman Graham Dacre.
The school offers GCSEs, BTECs and vocational courses as programmes of study for its pupils. The school has a specialism in environmental science and offers courses geared towards the specialism.
Open Academy was formerly a part of the Kett Sixth Form College consortium, which also includes Sprowston Community High School and Sewell Park College. The Kett operates as a separate entity to its host schools. As of 2013, the Academy gained a separate Sixth Form, to be known as OA6 which is led by Claire Nugent. OA6 is a small, but growing Sixth Form, offering a variety of A-Levels and BTECs.
