Caister Academy, formerly known as Caister High School, is a coeducational secondary school located in the small seaside village of Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk, England.

History[]

Caister Academy is a mixed school for 11 to 16-year-old pupils which has held specialist Arts College status since 2002.[1] Caister Academy is located on Windsor Road on the coast. They have recently updated the sports hall.

Caister High School received a devastating Ofsted report in May 2014, where it was said to require improvement in all categories.[2] The school converted to academy status on 1 February 2015 and is sponsored by the Creative Education Trust.[1] A new principal, Michelle Strong, was appointed and made the changes recommended at the preceding school's inspection, leaving in 2018 when the transformation was completed.[3]

Uniform[]

The pupils are split into coloured houses which compete in competitions such as sport day and quizzes. The houses are Green, Red, Yellow and Blue. Most students have now obtained a black tie with thin electric blue stripes to match the logo, regardless of their house colour. Prefects in year 11 have a black tie with the Academy's logo in the middle with one electric blue stripe above the logo and one stripe of the same colour below it.[4]
