If the bid for the replacement of Bexhill High School is successful, the intention is for its relocation to the Gunters Lane site but to use part of The Downs site for a new Vocational Skills Centre.

It would be more sustainable (for service provision) to plan housing growth to make use of existing spare capacity in primary schools but it is recognised that additional capacity, through expansion or new build, may be needed in some areas of planned housing. In the case of new provision, the assistance of the District Council in securing new sites is welcomed.
