Seahaven Academy (formerly Tideway Comprehensive School) is a secondary school in Newhaven, East Sussex. The school's academic achievements improved considerably when the school joined the United Learning Trust in 2014.

Fire

On 5 April 2005, a large fire occurred at the school's central building. Many of its facilities, including the main hall, the library and 40 classrooms, were severely damaged. A 15-year-old boy was charged with arson, and burglary over the incident, but was later cleared of these charges.

The school site was redeveloped into a single complex following the fire. A time capsule was buried at the school in 2008 to commemorate its restoration.
