Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Hailsham Community College. We have been a Community College since 1993 and we are committed to the principle of Life Long Learning for all our students, whatever their age. Since September 2000 we have been a Specialist Sports College and in addition, since September 2004, a Specialist College in Business & Enterprise, an achievement of which we are particularly proud. Our vision to guide us up to 2008 is as follows:

Vision 2008HCC will be working in partnership with the community to provide a positive and enjoyable learning environment that challenges, supports and celebrates all individuals’ achievements whilst promoting the pursuit of excellence.

Hailsham students enjoy college life and are ready to accept the challenges that secondary school offers them. Our aim is to encourage all of our students to develop a curiosity and an appetite for learning. In so doing we believe that we are equipping them with the necessary skills to cope with the rapidly changing and technological world that they will face when they enter adulthood.

As the college Principal I take great pride in supporting them and watching over the tremendous achievements that they make during their time here. Of course there are times when they are either daunted or fearful, but essentially by the end of their time with us our students emerge as confident and secure individuals, ready and able to face the next phase of their lives.
