Haven High Academy (formerly Haven High Technology College and Haven High School) is a secondary school with academy status located in Boston, Lincolnshire, England.[1] Haven High is a member academy of Voyage Education Partnership.
The school came into being in September 1992 as the result of a merger of the then Kitwood Girls School and Kitwood Boys School.
Ofsted inspections of the school in 2016, 2019 and 2022 all resulted in reports of "Requires Improvement", the second lowest category of performance.[2] This was despite an interim Ofsted monitoring report in December 2021 indicating that the school was making rapid progress in addressing the areas of concern.[3] [4]
In 2023, the BBC reported allegations that pupils at the school were part of a system of fights being planned for social media audiences.[5] Earlier the same year, other student discipline issues were reported in the media.[6] [7] [8] In April 2024, some teachers at the school went on strike in connection with the behavioural issues of students at the school.[9]
In 2021 the assistant head of the school's music program was banned from teaching indefinitely after admitting having a sexual relationship with a pupil.[10]
