The college is located close to the famous seaside resort of Southend, which is a vibrant town with numerous shops (including well-known brands such as Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Next and Debenhams), public houses, wine bars, cafes and restaurants. This corner of Essex has been transformed into a lively, exciting and ‘happening’ place to live. A wide choice of golf courses, yacht clubs, gyms including Virgin, ten-pin bowling, horse riding and extensive parks, and woodland are all close to hand, as of course, is the beach and the world famous Southend Pier.

Additionally, a wide range of annual festivals including folk and fish festivals and a Regatta attract visitors from miles around to this quaint sea-faring village.
