Information for Parents
Parent Support
At East Sussex College we recognise that in Year 11 your child will need to start thinking about making some important decisions about their education and future career. Although it’s sometimes necessary to make late decisions, the best way is to get information, advice and guidance early, so that your child can make the right choices.
