The teachers and staff members are amazing I feel very at home here.

Eastbourne

Traditional English seaside town, close to London, famous for sports and surrounded by stunning iconic scenery.

Eastbourne is a classic seaside town with a well-preserved Victorian seafront, a pier, many parks, gardens, theatres, museums and galleries. The seafront and famous cliffs at Beachy Head have been used in many movie scenes. With many sports facilities, Eastbourne hosts a grass tennis tournament as a warm up for Wimbledon.

“Eastbourne is really wonderful, nice town. Because it is by the sea so you can swim after school, run along the beach, collect different stones and so on. Without a doubt Eastbourne is an amazing, cool and funny place to be.”
