It draws its students from a large geographical area including the villages of Cross in Hand, Horam, Mayfield and Burwash.

The College works very closely with its family of primary feeder schools (Broad Oak, Burwash, Cross in Hand, Dallington, Five Ashes, Old Heathfield, Herstmonceux, Mayfield, Maynards Green, Parkside and Punnetts Town).
The College has a very good record of academic achievement and the College has also received excellent Ofsted reports with the latest inspection in May 2016 confirming Heathfield Community College as a “good school that is rapidly improving.”
There is an extensive range of extra-curricular activities on offer to all students including various after school clubs, field trips, Year 8 camp, ski trips, residential visits (to places such as the Loire Valley, Barcelona and Berlin), theatre visits and revision classes.
There is a very positive ethos at the College and relationships between staff and students are a strong feature of success. Staff enjoy working here and students are motivated and keen to learn.
