The Chapel follows the religion of the Church of England. The College has a very good choir.

Every Thursday evening there is a communion service followed by warm pizza in the Chaplain's flat at which all are welcome.

Recognition.
The Southern Railway used to use trains' names for publicity, and carrying pupils to boarding schools at the beginning and end of school terms was a big part of the traffic. One type of train was named after various English public schools. The fifteenth train of this type made, "no. 914", was named "Eastbourne" after the college. Built at Eastleigh in October 1932, "no. 914" was working until July 1961.
