About Peacehaven Heights Academy
Peacehaven Heights Academy is a primary school in Peacehaven, East Sussex, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 373 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 79% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 23.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Peacehaven Heights Academy their first choice was offered one of its 58 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.8%. There are about 19.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 37% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Peacehaven Heights Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
