Schools in Seaford
Seaford has 7 schools — four mainstream primaries, one secondary and two specialist settings — within East Sussex County Council's admissions area. Four of the seven operate as academies; Seaford Head School is the sole secondary academy, serving the bulk of Seaford's 11-plus cohort. One primary is oversubscribed and average fill stands at 94 per cent, placing Seaford in the upper tier of East Sussex coastal towns for primary-place pressure.
Seaford Primary School and Cradle Hill Community Primary Academy are the two main community primaries; Bowden House School is a specialist residential and day setting for pupils with complex learning needs. East Sussex applies a common admissions timetable, with primary preferences due by 15 January each year. Families living on the northern edge of Seaford near Bishopstone should verify which school catchment their postcode falls within — the boundary follows the A259 corridor and can diverge from what mapping tools predict.
