COASTAL SCHOOLS PARTNERSHIP Eastbourne College is a founding member of the Coastal Schools Partnership (CSP) comprising Eastbourne College and 12 maintained secondary schools, free schools, academies and colleges, whose mission is to collaborate on projects for the mutual benefit of pupils, staff and the local community. RAISE ASPIRATION
We enjoy close links with universities, and have run interactive workshops and fairs to enable pupils to learn more about different degree courses, and also helped pupils to apply to Oxbridge and other universities. INFLUENCE CHANGE Pupils are given access to key opinion makers (for example, this year, the House of Lords, the Environment Agency, the Eden Project and the Local Authority) and work to develop meaningful pro-active projects about where they live.
The CSP has proven impact on the quality of learning across the
Partnership and on the self-esteem and leadership skills of the young people involved. We focus on seven areas, decided on by the Partnership:

PROVIDE CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Colleagues at CSP schools shared good practice this year in equality, diversity and inclusion, PSHE and how to encourage positive engagement amongst pupils. They also worked with the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation on including ideas of conservation across the curriculum.
College Year 12 pupils provided weekly mentoring to GCSE pupils from local schools in mathematics and modern foreign languages. They also provided literacy support to local Year 8 pupils, and a Saturday Basketball Club followed by a hot lunch is offered to other targeted groups of local pupils. Dr Steve Hobbs ran a yearly X-Calibre Scholars programme to develop critical and creative thinking amongst Year 9 CSP pupils, supported by College Year 12 pupils.
