Eastbourne College is a co-educational private school in the English public school tradition, for boarding and day pupils aged 13–18, in the town of Eastbourne on the south coast of England.
Child sexual abuse
The school "has been ravaged by cases of child sexual abuse".[1][2]
The headmaster as of 2023 is Tom Lawson, half-brother of Nigela and son of the Tory grandee Nigel Lawson. Tom Lawson argued that no funds should be spent on historical child sex allegations.[3] Tom Lawson came to Eastbourne College from Christ's Hospital school where several teachers have been convicted for child sexual abuse and where a common punishment used to be to send pupils down to Peter Ball's house.[4]
