FIGHTInG THE VIRuS TOGETHER
 The College enjoys a long and distinguished association with the medical profession. One of its key founders, Dr Charles Hayman, was instrumental in tackling an epidemic of scarlet fever in Eastbourne in 1863 by driving through improvements to the sanitary and drainage of the town. Our group of Year 9 scholars are named the Hayman Society in his honour, and we are delighted that, this year, 32 aspiring medics in the sixth form took part in the School of Pre-Medicine Programme. We are delighted to recognise some of our OEs and parents who are helping in the fight against Covid-19.

‘This study into health-care workers will tell us those critical features about what baseline immunity does prior virus exposure, the state of your antibodies and cells, who is carrying the disease, what the earliest changes are, what the targets will be for pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis, and how immunity wanes over time.’
