Principal's Welcome

Welcome

 

Welcome to our amazing school on the edge of the South Downs.

When we think of our mission at PACA we start by recognising how lucky we are to live where we do. We have the country, the coast, our city and the capital. We live in a place that champions progressive values, which is dynamic and exciting. We are proud to be Portslade – it’s a great place to live. Our mission, therefore is for everyone in our community to make the most of all that is around us.
