What is the catchment area for Eastbourne College?
The catchment area for Eastbourne College is the geographic zone East Sussex uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

East Sussex publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Entry to Eastbourne College is selective, and applicants must pass the relevant admissions test.

Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.
