​Our History

All Saints CE Junior Academy has been part of Hastings’ story since 1835, when it opened as the Hastings Parochial School in All Saints’ Street. Founded with strong community and church links, the school has always focused on providing education for local children.

Over the years, the school moved twice—first to Harold Road in 1913, and then to its current site in 1959, taking over the former Clive Vale School building. Generations of families in Hastings remember their time here.

Our connection with All Saints’ Church remains central to school life, with services shared at All Saints and St Clements churches and visits from the Rev Matt Phipps each term.

The latest chapter began in 2015, when All Saints became the first academy member of the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust (DCAT), continuing our tradition of excellence and Christian values.
