1. ADMISSIONS POLICY STATEMENT
The aim of this document is to provide you with a brief profile of Eastbourne College and to guide you through our admissions process. Eastbourne College is one of the UK’s leading day and boarding schools for pupils aged 13 to 18. We have a reputation for academic and co-curricular excellence, top-quality teaching and a positive school culture, and we are committed to providing a values-led, all- round education to our pupils in our nurturing environment. The College performs among the best schools nationally for academic value-added, which means all pupils, regardless of ability, strongly outperform expectation compared to the national average. This approach to education is both rare and special, and Eastbournians are right to celebrate it. We encourage our pupils to participate as widely as possible in school life and we promote their social development and welfare through a strong house system. Eastbourne College is a selective school and offers places based primarily on underlying academic ability and personal character. But we are also looking for pupils wishing to seize every opportunity and to add to and benefit from the co-curricular opportunities and wider community involvement offered by the school. Offers are subject to appropriate places being available. Our admissions policy reflects our dedication to maintaining a diverse and vibrant pupil body and ensures fairness, transparency and equal opportunities for all applicants.
