The Local Education Authority is the East Sussex County
Council at Lewes.
There are four Community Primary schools and a large Community College
in Hailsham, and a Community Primary School at Hellingly (see General
Information page), with other secondary schools at Heathfield, Ringmer,
Willingdon, Eastbourne, Battle, and Bexhill, some of which also
provide technical training.
Further education is available at the South Downs College in Cross
Levels Way, Eastbourne, Park College in Kings Drive and Eastbourne
College in Old Wish Road, where evening and weekend courses are
also arranged for mature students.
Evening institutes in commercial and advanced subjects and handicrafts
are also organised locally in Hailsham, according to current demand.
Local students attaining the required standard may qualify for grants
from the County Council for entry to training colleges or for further
study for diplomas and university degrees.
In addition to the State schools, there are toddler groups, nursery
and pre-school facilities in the area and several good preparatory
and other independent schools, all within easy travelling distance
of the town and parish.
