Peacehaven Heights Academy
At the heart of Peacehaven Heights Academy is our Trust’s mission to improve the life chances of all children, guided by our core values of respect, responsibility, resilience, and ambition. We are a welcoming, inclusive school where everyone—pupils, staff, and visitors—is valued and supported in a safe, respectful environment that encourages everyone to thrive.
From early years, children build strong foundations through clear routines and engaging teaching. Our broad curriculum, with reading at its core, challenges all pupils and celebrates diversity. Supported by a committed staff team, we help every pupil overcome barriers and reach their full potential.
We warmly welcome those considering a career in teaching or new opportunities to experience our purposeful learning environment and strong community. We invest in our staff’s growth because great teachers change lives.
