Twin English Centre Eastbourne moved from Gildredge Road to Compton Park in October 2019 so plans have been submitted to convert the Gildredge Road site into flats. Principal of the centre Tracey Cook said, “We are just handing back a building we no longer need.”

The Compton Park site offers a variety of English courses for adults and has 25 classrooms, a dining hall, large gardens and tennis courts.
