Sign up for an Open Event
We’re an award-winning HMC independent co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 13 to 18, located on the beautiful East Sussex coast.
We are passionate about developing healthy ambition driven by healthy habits and supported by healthy minds and bodies. We have the staff, the facilities, the location and the spirit to deliver this and to continue creating confident, balanced and ‘authentic all-rounders’: true Eastbournians.
We believe in a well-rounded education that encourages pupils to challenge themselves academically, physically and creatively. We focus on developing independence, resilience and a strong sense of community, ensuring that pupils leave with the skills and confidence to take their next steps, whatever path they choose.
The very best way to experience what we have to offer is to visit us in person. Meet our inspiring staff, learn more about our academic success and co-curricular opportunities, and experience the warmth of our community firsthand.

We love the location, next to the sea (positively impacting on endorphin levels!) and it’s in a small, safe town that allows our children to gain greater independence in a safe environment. We were, obviously, impressed with the teachers and pastoral team who showed us around on our tours as well as the fantastic opportunities that our children would be able to experience that they would not have done elsewhere.
