Advice on private schools in east sussex

[aruman14]

Hello!!

We have a 19 month old and we are considering putting him in a private school and would really appreciate some advice.

In particular we woild love to know about St. Bedes Eastbourne or Lewes Old Grammar School!!

Thanks:)

Presumably for secondary ? St Bedes is not particularly selective or academic, but things could yet change in 10 or so years !

Are you talking about St. Bedes Prep school (nursery, pre-prep and prep)
I think looking for seniors at this time is very forward thinking for East Sussex.

Good prep schools are
St. Andrews (mixed)
Moira House (girls)

Had a horrible experience at Bede’s’s senior school has anyone else

My best friend went to Bedes and so did all 3 of her siblings. Her youngest sister is still there and they all had an amazing time. All did very differently with her getting amazing grades and her bother completely flunking his a levels through no ones fault but his own.
The way she always describes it to me is it is the closest to a comp a private school could get. It’s very chill but lots more opportunities for sports and extra curricular plus small classes. She loved it.
