The school was opened in 2001 following a 40-year campaign by the local community for a secondary school in Peacehaven.
It is a foundation school administered by East Sussex County Council and the Peacehaven Co-operative Learning Trust. Governance of the school is by an Interim Executive Board.[1]
Ofsted inspections
The school was inspected by Ofsted in 2013[2] and again 2016. For both inspections, the school was awarded a grade 3 or 'unsatisfactory' mark overall,[3] despite previously being a 'good' school.[4] This is reflected in the latest exam results, released in August 2016, which show only 38% of students achieving 5 A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) inc. English and maths[5] compared to the 53% national average. This is 4 points down on the previous year from 42%, despite local authority intervention in the governance of the school and the guidance of the SWALE Academies Trust.[6]
It was again inspected in October 2018, and was awarded a grade 2 or 'good' mark overall.[7]
