School location

Buckswood St Georges is located in the heart of Hastings, on the south-east (sunshine) coast of England.
Hastings is a small seaside town, famous for its connection with the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Pirate and Smuggler heritage, and the Old Town with it's cobbled streets and quaint shops and the steepest funicular railway in the United Kingdom! Also with direct rail links to Ashford International (1 hour), Brighton (1 hour) and London (1.5 hours), Hastings really is an ideal location.
Buckswood St Georges is positioned just minutes from the main town centre and railway and 5 minutes from the beach. With the many shops in and around the covered mall, restaurants, pubs, theatres, cinemas, art galleries, sporting facilities and traditional seaside attractions all within walking distance, there really is something to please everyone!
