Seahaven Academy (formerly Tideway Comprehensive School) is a secondary school in Newhaven, East Sussex. The school's academic achievements improved considerably when the school joined the United Learning Trust in 2014, and have been judged 'Good' by Ofsted. A new Headteacher is joining the school in April 2023, Shevlyn Byroo.
Fire
[edit]On 5 April 2005, a large fire occurred at the school's central building. Many of its facilities, including the main hall, the library and 40 classrooms, were severely damaged.[1][2] A 15-year-old boy was charged with arson and burglary over the incident, but was later cleared of these charges.[3]
The school site was redeveloped into a single complex following the fire.[4] A time capsule was buried at the school in 2008 to commemorate its restoration.[5]
