PACA is a co-educational school for students 11 - 18  based in the heart of the Mile Oak community in Portslade, Brighton.  There has been significant development of the Academy site over recent years with £12.7 million being invested in an impressive new state of the art building and fantastic new facilities.  The Academy has seen a strong improvement in results since opening and the development of a number of specialist Academies for Sixth Form in Cricket, Dance, Football and Digital Medial and for Year 7 onwards in both Football and Dance.  There is a strong emphasis on an entrepreneurial approach throughout both teaching and extra curricular activities.

PACA's motto is "Unlocking Potential" and we are committed to unlocking the full potential in our students and staff.  PACA is part of the growing family of Aldridge Academies - all very different, but with a shared commitment to inclusivity and limitless aspiration - in a strong community context.
