Oasis Academy Hextable (formerly Hextable School) is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Hextable, Kent, England.[2]

The school was built in the early 1970s due to the rising number of pupils in Swanley, Dartford and surrounding villages.

The school converted to an academy in September 2013, and is sponsored by the Oasis Trust. In February 2015 it was announced that due to declining pupil numbers the school will formally close in 2016. Pupils in years 7, 8, 9 and 11 moved to other schools in September 2015 and no new pupils will be admitted. Pupils currently in years 11 and 13 will be allowed to continue their studies at the school until September 2016.[3]

However Kent County Council have stated that demand for secondary school places in the area will rise in the next few years, and they intend to retain the school site for future use as a secondary school.[4]
