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]
