Hastings Academy
The Hastings Academy, formerly known as Hillcrest, is a secondary school in Hastings, East Sussex, England. The Hastings Academy opened on 1 September 2011 moving into a new building during February 2013. The school has around 900 students and over 100 staff. It is run by the University of Brighton Academies Trust.
Hastings A School was completed in 1953, where it opened as a girls secondary school. At around this time the school campus was made up of B-Block and the sports fields.
With the merger of the boys secondary school located in Priory Road with Hastings Grammar School in 1978, (next to Castledown School), Hillcrest accepted both male and female students. Arthur Trevor Kimber who had been head at Hastings Secondary School for Boys became the new head teacher of Hillcrest and many of his staff team from the boys' school transferred across with him.
In 2007 the school closed its 6th Form. September 2013 saw the closing of Hillcrest School and the opening of The Hastings Academy.
The school campus was divided into four blocks: L block, the Sports Centre, A Block and B Block. In addition to the Sports Centre, there is a gymnasium in B Block. There were three tennis courts on site and four playgrounds. There were two fields east of the Language Block. The school owned part of the woodland behind A Block's playground. A multi use games area was opened in 2006.
There were huts behind A Block where maths is taught and student services, the health clinic, library and canteen were located there.
The main entrance was there and leads to Kenway Hall.
The language college was where French, German and Spanish was taught to the students; Japanese language. Other languages were taught during after school classes. There was an ICT suite, primarily for the use by Language classes.
