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.
Fire
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]
