• Bexhill is a lovely place in which to live and work with Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton on the doorstep.
• We are ‘human’. We do not expect perfection. We fully acknowledge that maintaining a first class school is about all pulling together, learning from each other and supporting one another with challenges. Everyone has their strengths and areas for development. We work as a team to ensure strong outcomes for all our pupils.
