A scene from Guards! Guards!

At a time when the importance of the Arts subjects in the National Curriculum has diminished, the College is especially proud of the opportunities it offers for education in the Arts.

The Phoenix Arts Centre is unique in its combined College and community role. It offers students all the facilities of a professional theatre and the opportunity to train in the technical as well as the performance side of the theatre.

A Gymnasium has been converted to a dual purpose to encompass its use as a Dance Studio.

The College Art Department, accommodated in a separate specialist suite, produces work of the highest quality.

There are opportunities to learn to play a wide range of musical instruments; indeed tuition is offered both by East Sussex and local specialist teachers. Concerts are a feature of the College calendar.

Drama productions of the highest quality make a regular contribution to College life and we are aiming to make dance a feature of the curriculum with the regular inclusion of dance performances in College Arts events.

Links with the County Music Service and with Arts organisations throughout the local area extend extra curricular opportunities to students with special talents.
