Bede's Prep is an independent, co-educational school located by the sea in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
We are a school that enriches young people so that they may become confident members of their communities.
We believe in providing children with rich learning opportunities that stimulate and broaden their knowledge, skills and understanding, engaging them in practical experiences which bring learning to life.
I joined Bede’s Prep last year. It’s really nice here, and everyone’s very friendly. It feels like I’ve been here for ages.
Choosing a school can be incredibly tough. If you are looking for preparatory schools in Sussex, consider Bede's. Our school provides a caring environment where children are encouraged to be creative, curious and confident.
We are members of The Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), offering day and boarding places for pupils between the ages of 4 and 13. Our students are valued as individuals and enjoy a broad range of opportunity to suit their interests and talents.
