OUR ENTRY PROCESS Eastbourne College welcomes applications from pupils of all backgrounds. The College has a very strong record for academic value added. This means that many pupils, regardless of ability, strongly outperform expectation compared to the national average. Our entry procedures are intended to identify applicants who will thrive at Eastbourne. The College selects pupils primarily on the basis of their underlying academic ability and personal character.
There are normally two points of entry into the College: our main intake is at the start of the Michaelmas term in Year 9 for boys and girls aged 13 plus. Offers for this entry point are largely made when pupils are in Year 6 and generally based upon references and existing academic testing information. We do not pre-test. Pupils also often join us for two-year A-level courses, commencing in the Lower Sixth (Year 12). Pupils wishing to join the College in Year 10 are considered on an individual basis.
We recognise that the selection of a senior school is very much a two-way process and we are pleased to receive enquiries from, and offer guidance to, any parents interested in their child attending the College at all points of entry. Please contact our admissions team who will be delighted to answer any questions, and to fix a time for a visit: admissions@eastbourne-college.co.uk or 01323 452323
