School Information
Explore new horizons
Eastbourne College is a 2023 TES Boarding School of the Year Finalist. Few
top senior independent schools in Britain offer a six-minute stroll to the
doorstep of a national park, an international tennis venue, a county cricket
ground, two challenging golf courses, award-winning beaches, theatres,
a modern art gallery, a brand new shopping centre with state-of-the-art
cinema, and a mainline station to London (85 minutes), London Gatwick
Airport (55 minutes), and Ashford International (direct trains to Europe).
Discover a new path
Founded over 150 years ago, today Eastbourne College reaches out like never
before, connecting its boarding and day pupils with a raft of opportunities

The College’s learning environment is second to none thanks to a recently
