About Seaton Valley High School

Parents considering Seaton Valley High School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already in the school community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a very high 92% of the 25 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. The feedback is particularly positive on the school's atmosphere: 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 96% felt their child is safe. Behaviour is also a clear strength, with 92% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school's capacity is listed at 165, but it currently has 627 pupils on roll, which suggests it is significantly oversubscribed and that securing a place may be competitive. This combination of a near-unanimous recommendation rate and high demand points to a school that is well-regarded by the families it serves, even if the raw numbers suggest a very different picture on academic performance.
