award-winning facilities
At Eastbourne College, we believe our values are timeless. But while our ethos remains constant, the world moves forward — and so do we.
To mark its 150th anniversary, the College launched Project 150 – an ambitious initiative to transform the school’s facilities and enhance every aspect of pupil life, from learning to sport and wellbeing. The impressive Winn Building was completed in 2018 and includes modern classrooms, a dance studio, a fitness suite, a five-court sports hall, squash courts and a 25m swimming pool. There is also a large, light-filled dining hall, complemented by flexible function rooms.
The £33 million investment reflects Eastbourne College’s long-term commitment to providing an exceptional environment in which young people can thrive. The Winn Building’s architectural design has been widely praised for its contemporary style and its sensitive integration into the College’s historic campus.
Beyond school life, the facilities also benefit the wider community. During the prestigious Lexus Eastbourne Open Tournament, the College’s sports centre and dining areas host players, coaches and officials — a testament to the venue’s professional-grade standards.
This bold development is more than just a building; it represents Eastbourne College’s dedication to nurturing the minds, bodies and spirits of its pupils in a truly world-class setting.

“The building itself and the new refurbishment, and the way they blend together, makes for more quirks than it’s possible to list – think redbrick towers inside modern glass-walled buildings, and other unexpected feats of architecture.” – Muddy Stilettos, 2023
Blue Health
We believe that a healthy body and a healthy mind go hand in hand — and our unique seaside location plays a big part in that.
A growing body of research highlights the many positive effects of spending time near water, a concept known as ‘blue health’.
We are fortunate to be just a short walk from the stunning Eastbourne coastline and we make full use of it. Pupils take part in everything from early morning beach runs and refreshing sea swims to quiet, mindful walks along the promenade — simple yet powerful moments that help them recharge, reflect and reconnect.
The fresh sea air, open skies and calming rhythm of the waves offer a natural balance to the energy of school life. It’s all part of the Eastbourne College experience — one that nurtures wellbeing alongside achievement and supports young people to flourish in every way.
Delivering a gold-standard, 21st-century education, underpinned by tradition.
