The seaside town of Eastbourne is an ideal location for a boarding school, offering as it does a wide range of attractions. The College is situated on the western tip of the town, a block or two from the sea and ten minutes' walk from the town centre, with its main-line trains to London Victoria, and from the Downs.

The College Chapel was built in 1870 and today plays an important part in the community. There is a full-time chaplain who plays a significant part in both the teaching and pastoral sides of school life. The choir has a serious musical reputation and sings regularly, not only at chapel services but also annually at Chichester and Winchester cathedrals.

We believe the key values of participation, the pursuit of excellence, integrity, courtesy and kindness form the bedrock upon which every child’s education should stand, providing young people with the wherewithal to flourish both at school and beyond.

The latest ISC Inspection took place in October 2002. Eastbourne College was also inspected by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) in June 2004.
