In 2009 we felt a real opportunity existed to join colleagues in celebrating the end of an era in Archery Road, and at the same time, bench mark our ambition for new opportunities just around the corner, and having recently visited the new Sussex Coast College, there is really going to be a very bright future for Art & Design in Hastings. Our students are currently working hard to ensure this year's show is even more successful, and we plan to exhibit in the new College, with wider representations of our work showcasing in 'F- ISH', D&AD (London), and other local venues.

The move will undoubtedly present challenges, but we will continue to embrace these as opportunities, empowering our students, with the necessary skills and self-belief to succeed.
