Since opening 50 years ago, Hartsdown Academy has made remarkable strides forward as a pioneering educational establishment. We are at the cutting edge of technology, educational innovation and community involvement and are developing all the time to meet the changing needs of the diverse groups of people we serve. We are an inclusive co-educational college for students of all abilities from 11-18. Our vision for Hartsdown is to provide a first-rate, broad ranging education that meets the need of our school community.

As a pioneering school, we continue to push the boundaries and we are rewarded with fantastic progress at many different levels and excellent results. Everything we do is centred around our determination to raise our students aspirations and to help them get the most out of their education and their lives.

And we do it in many different ways using the skills and professionalism of our fantastic staff who go that extra mile to make sure we offer the best range of learning choices and life skills possible.

We do it with a smile on our face and a real desire to make a significant difference to our school and our community.
