Established in 1854, Newlands School is the leading independent school in Seaford, East Sussex. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the fringe of the South Downs National Park, the school sits within a 17 acre site with outstanding facilities and views of the sea from a number of classrooms.
Mainstream, non-selective and co-educational, Newlands provides a traditional education with a progressive outlook in a warm and caring environment. Recent inspection reports have noted our excellent departments in Art, Photography, Dance & Drama. The school combines specialist departments with a strong focus on academic success, literacy, numeracy, self-discipline and personal development.
Newlands is, above all, celebrated for its exceptional commitment to pastoral care. Working closely with every individual, we help to develop their strengths and abilities. As a non-selective school, we recognise that some children may need extra support to unlock their academic potential. Our on-site accelerated learning centre, known as the Bridge Centre, enjoys a remarkable track record in supporting pupils with dyslexia and other educational needs. The Centre also offers extension to those pupils of high academic ability.
The school site is home to a large sports hall, newly refurbished indoor swimming pool, dance studios, extensive playing fields, well resourced ICT suite and photographic studio as well as our own Nursery and Creche.
In the Pre-Prep, pupils enjoy a dynamic and exciting curriculum in a child-centred environment and participate in enriching activities. Prep school education, from eight to thirteen years, is broad and balanced, promoting the spiritual, cultural, creative and physical development of interesting young people. The Senior School provides a firm foundation for GCSE attainment and offers additional opportunities, including photography, design technology and digital media. Visiting speakers together with exhibitions, activities and events, add to the energy, vibrancy and vision of Newlands.
Newlands School is in an ideal location for transport links. The port of Newhaven can be reached in ten minutes and Gatwick Airport in under an hour. The town has a railway station and excellent road links to the M25. Dover is approximately two hours away.
