Eastbourne College & St Andrew’s Prep

Co-Educational boarding and day in Eastbourne, East Sussex

St Andrew’s Prep and Eastbourne College are independent co-educational boarding and day schools, situated in Eastbourne. They are conveniently located within easy reach of the railway station, which offers direct links to London and Gatwick International Airport and are just one mile apart from each other. International pupils are drawn from over 25 countries and are fully immersed in school life with exciting activities and trips laid on for boarders throughout the week and weekends. The schools operate independently, each benefiting from shared expertise and resources. At St Andrew’s Prep pupils up to 13 years of age are nurtured to be culturally aware, purposeful and confident. The school provides gold standard teaching in academic subjects, exceptional sports coaching and is the school of choice for performing arts in the locality. We have been recognised as, “Forward thinking and nurturing… Although it’s not a hothouse, academics are ambitious”. 

 

Eastbourne College offers a seamless transition from St Andrew’s Prep, sharing resources and the same commitment to academic excellence, co-curricular opportunities and award-winning pastoral care. Embracing its seaside location, the College promotes healthy learning and a holistic education. Entry is available at Year 9, Year 10 or Sixth Form, with pupils progressing to top universities worldwide. 

 

A Year 13 parent recently wrote to say, “The opportunities our son has had—the guidance, the responsibility, support and mentoring—have been exceptional.”
