INTRODUCTION.
East Sussex College has distinct and unique
campuses in Lewes, Newhaven, Eastbourne
and Hastings. This strategy outlines East
Sussex College’s ambitious strategic
intentions for the next phase of our journey
ready for broad and deep discussions with
our colleagues, students, parents/carers,
employers, strategic partners, and local
community leaders. As a learning organisation we will be listening intently
to this feedback to inform our future direction. The
results of this consultation will form the basis of our
new Strategic Plan 2021-24. Through the life of this new
plan, we will be developing new learning spaces, learning
approaches, and learning platforms.
We will ensure that our curriculum offer develops the
skills, knowledge, and behaviours that employers locally,
regionally, and nationally tell us they need. Inclusion
and diversity are at the core of everything that we
do and reaching out to support every member of our
community is central to the College’s mission.
The significant impact that COVID has already had on
our local economies means that the stakes are very
high. We have a huge responsibility to be agile and
responsive to the needs of local people, employers and
to be a conduit to drive high quality skills development,
retraining opportunities and positively contribute to the
local health and wealth of our communities. We take
this responsibility extremely seriously. We very much
look forward to ongoing dialogue with you to shape the
future of our College and make sure that it delivers the
very best service for the people that we serve.

the Government for the second stage of
development which, if successful, will be
completed by September 2024. This will
focus on refurbishing current buildings and
building a new three-storey building at the
heart of the campus. New frontage will
offer a modern and attractive welcome to
students and visitors. New social spaces
also feature in the estates development
plan, creating additional areas for students
between lessons. All of this will be subject
to further consultation in the autumn but
it represents and exciting new era in the
college’s history and we look forward to
welcoming students and our wider Lewes
community to be part of it.
