🌍 We’re proud to have been named a finalist in the StudyTravel Secondary School Awards 2026!

Following the recent ceremony in London, East Sussex College was recognised in the European School category at this prestigious international awards.

While we didn’t take home the top prize this time, this is still a fantastic achievement - particularly as we were the only further education college shortlisted, alongside boarding, private and international schools.

This recognition highlights our growing reputation in international education and our commitment to delivering high-quality experiences for students from around the world.

Katie Wingfield, Senior International Officer, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have been recognised as a finalist alongside such well-established international and independent schools. It’s a real testament to the hard work of our staff and the success of our international students.”

A brilliant moment for everyone involved 👏

Maddalena, an international student from Italy, loved being able to continue her hobby of archery while studying in Lewes 🎯

Reflecting on her experience, she said, “The college helped me to keep doing archery because they helped me find the right place to train, they helped me to communicate with the archery club,...and they helped me to go training every week”.

The photos above show Maddalena taking part in a Christmas shoot, where she went on to win the women’s competition.
