Haven High Academy (formerly Haven High Technology College and Haven High School) is a secondary school with academy status located on Marian Road in the north of Boston, Lincolnshire, England. [1] The school came into being in September 1992 as the result of a merger of the then Kitwood Girls School and Kitwood Boys School.[ citation needed]
In 2023 it emerged that pupils at the school were part of a system of fights being planned for social media audiences. School leadership commented that the events were taken very seriously as part of a nationwide promotion of school fights, and that all staff at Haven High Academy were already "fully committed" regarding safeguarding and promotion. [2] Earlier the same year, school leadership said that pupils protesting at not being permitted to use toilet facilities would be "met with sanctions", [3] and that "prison rules" would be enforced. Headteacher Stuart Rees said that this was part of a "nationwide trend". [4] [5] Following protests against the school's policies, which were supported by some parents, [6] Lincolnshire Police initiated an investigation. [7]
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. [8] A 15-year-old pupil also stabbed a 12-year-old boy to death in 2021 after luring him to a wooded area near the school. [9]
Ofsted inspections of the school in 2016, 2019 and 2022 all resulted in judgements of Requires Improvement, the second lowest category of performance. [10] 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. [11] Ofsted indicated that the school was still part of Voyage Education Partnership. [12]
