Eastbourne College benefits from being in a beautiful part of the town of Eastbourne, near enough for pupils to enjoy the town at appropriate times and next to the sea and the Sussex Downs. This is a fully co-educational, seven-day school where life-long friendships are forged. We believe whole-heartedly in the benefits of co-education and the boarding school day, which allows over 300 boarders and 300 day pupils to enjoy the widest possible range of opportunities not just in their academic studies, but also in sport, music, drama and a whole host of activities. With up to five teams per year group in any sport, it would be unusual for a pupil not to represent the College at some stage.
At a time when weekly and flexi-boarding are taking the heart out of weekend boarding, Eastbourne College still offers a full boarding ethos both at weekends and during the week. Day pupils are fully involved until 8pm and join in Saturday morning school and afternoon matches as well as other week-end concerts, drama, socialising or activities.
This is a fizzing school, where individuality is prized, and boys and girls develop into responsible, inquiring and considerate adults, confident but not arrogant. It is a hugely busy community, united by shared values and underpinned by a palpable friendliness.
