About

Saturday 28 February – 9am Saturday 9 May – 9am The sea inspires us. Endless horizons reflect the potential for all our pupils, the limitlessness of their aspiration. As the 'blue health school' we harness our coastal location to the benefit of our children's physical and mental wellbeing.

Enjoying the outdoors is part of our commitment to a diversity of opportunity: a balance between cultural engagement, schoolwork and sport and enjoying the company of friends.

Eastbourne College has a tradition of innovation, enthusiastically leading UK education in the direction of balanced co-education, equally cherishing our boarders and day pupils, aiming for what we are proud to call healthy learning for the long term .

The academic results achieved by boys and girls at Eastbourne are consistently very strong and higher than many more selective schools. We recruit children of a wide ability range, confident that we can challenge and develop all those who come to the College.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
