Haven High Academy

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. The school came into being in September 1992 as the result of a merger of the then Kitwood Girls School and Kitwood Boys School.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. Earlier the same year, school leadership said that pupils protesting at not being permitted to use toilet facilities would be "met with sanctions", and that "prison rules" would be enforced. Headteacher Stuart Rees said that this was part of a "nationwide trend". Following protests against the school's policies, which were supported by some parents, Lincolnshire Police initiated an investigation.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. 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.Ofsted inspections of the school in 2016, 2019 and 2022 all resulted in judgements of Requires Improvement, the second lowest category of performance. 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. Ofsted indicated that the school was still part of Voyage Education Partnership.
