Ofsted report in 2008 says
'Seaford Head Community College, which is a satisfactory and improving school, has faced many challenges since its last inspection. Much has been achieved in the past few years, and the impact can be seen in the rise in standards by the end of Year 11. The college is strongly led by the principal, whose vision for, and commitment to, the students is shared by the senior leadership team and the staff, who work purposefully to overcome the difficulties which the college's split site presents.
The proposal to suspend the satisfactory but small sixth form is indicative of the difficult choices that have been considered and addressed. Parental views on this and other recent changes have been divided and parents express concerns about how these have been communicated to them. However, one parent's comments represent the significant proportion who feel that the steps that have been taken have impacted well: 'My child has been at Seaford Head since before it went into special measures in 2003.'
