Sir Harry Smith Community College is a medium sized secondary school, situated in Eastrea Road, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. The college specialises in its science and maths departments. The school has recently had a new Library Resource centre built.

The school is most notable for its racing car project, headed by Mr. Kneeshaw. Mr. Kneeshaw and his team of mechanics are building a biofuel car to be entered into the 2008 Silverstone 24 hour race.

The school has raised a massive £1400 plus this year for 'Children in Need' and broke the world record for the largest number of people performing the childhood song 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' at once. The best year in the school, Year 11, is lead by Mr Seddon (who uses bad sports metaphors in assembly), and who helped prepare the 'Children in Need' event at the school.
