Bexhill College is an independent Sixth Form College which has been providing high quality post - 16 education in the East of the County of East Sussex for 42 years. It is the number one post 16 destination in the Rother and Hastings area. The College traditionally has four partner 11 - 16 schools of Bexhill Academy, St Richards Catholic College, Claverham Community College and Robertsbridge Community College. However, a high proportion of the students come from the surrounding areas. Students travel to study at the College from as far out as Rye and the Kent borders. There is also strong recruitment from Hastings and St Leonards and Eastbourne areas.

The College offers a broad range of courses to meet the needs of the local community. The core focus of the College work is with the 16-19 age group offering a broad range of academic and vocational courses across foundation, intermediate and advanced level. The College attracts approximately 2056 full time, 16-19 year old students of which approximately 90% are studying advanced programmes and the remaining 10% at intermediate/foundation level.

The College moved to new purpose built accommodation in August 2004. Facilities include a sports hall, all weather pitch, film studio, dance studio, laboratories as well as general classrooms. In November 2013 we opened an extension building which included a theatre, drama studio, hair salon, catering kitchen, music facilities and general classrooms. We opened an extension to our sports centre in September 2015 which includes state of the art gym facilities as well as upgrading our All Weather Pitch to a 3G facility in October 2016. We opened a new STEM building which ncorporates engineering in January 2021. We are co-located with the post-16 section of Glyne Gap Special School which offers new opportunities for an enriched educational environment.

In recent years, the college has developed a broad adult education offer which provides a range of academic and recreational courses. These courses mainly take place in the evening when approximately 500 adults attended evening class courses.

The major businesses locally are retail, distribution, insurance, leisure and tourism and banking. Other major employment areas are with the public services in education, health and social services. The care sector is a major employer in the area with limited large manufacturing organisation based locally. Many travel to work outside the area.
