General information
Headteacher: Roger Clark.
Background: The site occupied by the Senior School dates back to the beginning of modern British history, for it was at Battle that William the Conqueror defeated King Harold in 1066. Shortly afterwards William?s church was consecrated. The Abbot?s house was built in the thirteenth century whilst a monastery grew up around the church. A substantial part of the main school building originates from that time, the most modern addition from the sixteenth century. At the time of the reformation many of the Abbey buildings were destroyed but the Abbot?s house passed into private hands. In 1989 the all-girls school merged with Glengorse and Hydneye, a local Prep School and becoming co-educational accepted pupils from kindergarten to university age. In 1995 following a merger with Charters Ancaster the school transferred its Prep School to a new site in Bexhill, adding a purpose-built Junior School, playing fields, six tennis courts and a magnificent indoor swimming pool to its facilities.
