Hornsea School and Language College is situated in the small seaside town of Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is a secondary comprehensive and takes pupils from Hornsea and the surrounding area.

The school was built in 1958[1] on the site of Hornsea House, with 500 pupils. This included an institute of further education. By 1971 the school population had grown to over 1,000 and became a Comprehensive School.[2] It has a student support centre to help students with bullying and social issues.
