The Cavendish School, commonly known as Cavendish School or just Cavendish, is a coeducational comprehensive school, located in Eastbourne, East Sussex in England, and is an Arts College. Motto-Creating the future
The Cavendish School was founded in 1843 by Sir Douglas Moleheimer, a local actor who enjoyed passing down his love of acting through teaching. The school has approximately 1006 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16 (roughly 200 in each year).
The school is headed by a Headteacher - Mr K. Fitzpatrick. Almost all of the school's leavers go on to a local sixth form college - the most popular colleges being Park College, Eastbourne Vocational College and Lewes Sixth Form College, all of which are part of the same college organisation known as Sussex Downs College.
