Background

History

Originally Eastbourne Comprehensive School, the school converted to academy status and was renamed Eastbourne Church of England Academy. The school was later renamed St Aidan's Church of England Academy. Eastbourne Comprehensive had itself been created from the merger of Eastbourne Secondary Modern Boys' School and Eastbourne Secondary Modern Girls' School in 1968. These schools had been in existence since 1936. The boys' school was visited by Prince Philip. The new academy building was built on Hundens Park, to the north of the original school site.
