Orchard Mead Academy, previously known as Hamilton Community College, is a co-educational secondary school located in Leicester, England, taking children between the ages of eleven and sixteen.
The college became an academy on 1 September 2017, joining The Mead Educational Trust /(TMET) as a sponsored academy.
The main school building dating from the 50s and 60s was replaced in 2014 as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme. As part of these works Nether Hall Special School co-located with Hamilton on the Keyham Lane West site. 2502 Squadron Air Training Corps also shares the school site.
The school was awarded the status of a specialist Technology College in September 2001.
