The proposed development is comprised of alterations to the existing Seahaven Academy school buildings and the provision of new accommodation to enable the one form entry (1FE) expansion.

Seahaven Academy currently has capacity for 750 pupils and it is intended to increase the capacity of the school to 900 pupils. The project is commissioned by East Sussex County Council (ESCC).
The new development includes demolition of steps and retaining walls in the vicinity of the existing main entrance and a new two-storey extension to the northern side of the school building.
