Central Sussex College was formed in August 2005 from a merger of Crawley College and Haywards Heath College. [1]
Crawley College of Further Education was opened in 1958 [2] by West Sussex County Council at the campus in Crawley town centre. The college offered many technical courses, particularly in engineering fields, and was later known as Crawley College of Technology from 1977 until 1989.
Haywards Heath College was established in 1980 and offered mainly courses for 16 - 18 year old students following on from compulsory education.[3] Haywards Heath Grammar School opened on 9 September 1958[4], being run by East Sussex Education Committee with 800 boys and girls. It became a sixth form college.
The College has five campuses across the county, offering a variety of services at each, and a commercial training centre in Horsham, Horsham Training Centre. The main headquarters in Crawley are opposite the police station on the A2004.
The college has trainee hairdressing, beauty salons, and a restaurant open to the public. These allow students to train with real customers.
Intuition is the brand name for the college's trainee hairdressing and beauty salons at Crawley and East Grinstead. [10]
Le Cordon Vert is a restaurant based at the Crawley campus.[11]
