About Hastings
In Hastings, students can stroll up from the beach to cozy Old Town, where the buildings are hundreds of years old, and then settle down to a traditional and delicious cream tea of scones. In contrast to Hastings’ historic charm, English lessons take place in brand new Sussex Coast College facilities
Younger students are welcome on our STS Junior Course, which takes place Bexhill (located right next to Hastings) where we make sure that younger learners’ specific needs are well taken care of.
