The Learning Curve – 16-19 Education
Sussex Downs College has evolved over the years as a result of a merger between Lewes Tertiary College and Eastbourne College of Arts and Technology in 2001 and the additional merger of Park College in 2003. The College now has three main campuses at Eastbourne, Lewes and Newhaven and centres in Hailsham and Uckfield.
The College now has three sixth form centres for 16-19 year olds; Park College, Eastbourne Vocational College (EVoC) and Lewes 6th Form College. Overall pass rates for both Park and Lewes over the last two years have averaged 98 per cent.

Gearing students towards working in commercial enterprises at EVoC is enhanced through its links with local employers.
