Our Facilities

Welcome to Uckfield College: An Inspiring Place to Learn and Grow

At Uckfield College, our extensive campus and well-equipped specialist learning spaces create an exceptional environment for both students and staff. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, or out on the field, we are committed to providing top-quality facilities that support learning, creativity, and personal development.

Reading Room 

Our beautiful Reading Room is a warm, inviting, and comfortable space designed to nurture a love for reading. Students can enjoy a book before and after school, as well as during break and lunchtime. As part of our commitment to literacy, some English lessons take place here, with personalised support from our dedicated librarian. Reading not only enhances literacy and vocabulary but also fosters empathy, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for books.

Hall and Theatre

Our Hall is a versatile space featuring roll-out tiered seating, transforming quickly into a professional lecture theatre for assemblies, visiting speakers, and conferences. Equipped with theatre lighting, a high-quality audio system, a giant screen, and a projector, it ensures an engaging experience for all.

Similarly, our Theatre provides a dynamic space for teaching, learning, and performances. With flexible modular staging, professional lighting, sound systems, and tiered seating, it hosts a wide variety of events, including plays, musicals, dance shows, fashion shows, and drama productions.

Dance and Drama Studios

Our Dance and Drama Studios are state-of-the-art spaces, complete with dance barres, mirrors, black curtains, and theatrical lighting. A removable sliding wall allows for a larger theatre space, featuring a backstage area, costume cupboard, and a green room. The sprung wooden floors provide comfort and support for even the most high-energy performances. These inspiring studios host lessons, rehearsals, clubs, and a range of exciting performances throughout the year.
