Co-Headteacher Welcome

We would like to offer you a very warm welcome to The Eastbourne Academy. We feel privileged to be working with our students and families.

The Eastbourne Academy is shaped by our core values of ‘Curiosity, Ambition, Respect and Engagement’. These values underpin all that we do, whether it be in the classroom, playground or in the community.

At The Eastbourne Academy we see our curriculum as more than simply the outcomes students achieve: we consider the academic knowledge students acquire, the cultural experiences we enjoy together and how we develop character.

We firmly believe that our children deserve the best quality education. Our knowledge curriculum unlocks and nurtures the broad range of skills and talents of our students, recognising and maximising each student’s potential. We use evidence-informed teaching and learning strategies to ensure that students both enjoy their learning and develop the knowledge to flourish in the ever-evolving world.

We are extremely proud to be the Co-Headteachers and working with such talented students, hard-working and compassionate teachers, committed governors and dedicated parents.
