Further details about the role

The Haven is a VA maintained school that is converting to academy status and will be joining the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust (DCAT). We are hoping this will be completed by early Spring.

The existing headteacher is retiring at the end of the spring term, and the governing board is excited to offer this rare opportunity to appoint a new headteacher to lead our successful, happy, and nurturing school. At the Haven we make learning interesting, through providing a safe and stimulating environment and by promoting high academic standards. We encourage curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning for all our children.

Our popular Church of England and Methodist primary school, situated in Eastbourne, is a two form entry school and is much loved and respected by pupils, staff, parents, carers, and the local community.

The Haven was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in November 2018. At the Haven, a team of highly motivated and experienced educators are committed to providing our pupils with invigorating and stimulating educational, social, and moral experiences that they will remember for a lifetime. We want everyone in our school to flourish and live life in all its fullness.
