The Cavendish School, commonly known as Cavendish School or just Cavendish, is a coeducational All-through school with academy status, located in Eastbourne, East Sussex in England providing excellent learning opportunities for children aged 2 to 16.[1]

The school converted to Academy on 1 August 2012. In September 2016 the school’s Pre-School and primary phase building was opened and the Cavendish School became an All-through school.[2]

History

The Cavendish School has a complex and intriguing history, which dates as far back as 1843, making it one of the longest established schools in the area. It was in this year that actor Douglas Moleheimer established the first incarnation of The Cavendish School, in order to pass down his love of acting. A true ‘specialist school for the Arts’, The Cavendish School became an intrinsic part of Eastbourne life, and the name quickly grew within the town.

Our current building was first opened as a Girls’ High School in 1939 but The Cavendish School was established on this site in 1979. An extension was built in 1982 and further programmes of building and refurbishment have been completed in the intervening years.

In September 2016 the school’s primary phase building was opened.[2]
