Cavendish School first opened its doors in 1979, in the town of Eastbourne, East Sussex. Originally a co-educational secondary comprehensive, the school became an academy in 2012 and expanded to become an all-through school in 2015, after extensive planning and redevelopment. The addition of primary provision is intended to smooth the transition between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3, although Cavendish School readily accepts pupils from other primary schools. Cavendish Education Trust was formed in 2021, which encompases Cavendish School and a local Infant and Junior school. The Trust develops our approach to a cohesive curriculum and a smooth transition between all key stages.

We believe that staff make a difference to children and place staff development at the centre of our strategic planning. Promoting the continuous professional development of our staff is one of our highest priorities as we believe this is a vitally important part of improving outcomes for young people. Cavendish School is proud of its record in developing staff and on the quality of CPD more widely.

Staff Wellbeing is our priority at Cavendish School and are always investigating new initiatives to promote wellbeing as part of our schools’ priority to develop and implement a mental health and wellbeing strategy. We offer our staff the following:

  • Wellbeing groups are set up at each school to discuss and enhance staff wellbeing;
  • Free Flu Vaccinations are offered annually;
  • An Employee Assistance Programme (counselling service) is available to staff and their family members for confidential support and advice on financial and welfare issues;
  • Childcare vouchers are available as part of a salary sacrifice scheme;
  • A cycle to work bike scheme, to save and spread out the cost of a new bicycle as part of a salary sacrifice scheme;
  • A welcoming staff room with complimentary tea and coffee;
  • Support and mentoring by Senior Leadership Team and other experienced leaders;
  • Tailored CPD and staff development;
  • Local Government Pension Scheme / Teachers Pension Scheme.


Our schools promote excellence in everything they do. In every school, the entire staff team works in partnership with parents and the local community in nurturing today's young people and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders.

Thank you for your interest in working with us.
