History
It was established in 1875 by Charles Ingham at a place called "Moira House". Later, circa 1890 it moved to its current location.
School houses
Traditionally siblings are allocated to the same house.
In the school the houses are named after significant figures in myths and legends:
Sports
Moira House enjoys a magnificent location in the coastal town of Eastbourne, nestling in the leafy suburb of Meads. With views over the sea, the grounds open directly onto the South Downs National Park providing splendid walking, cycling and pony trekking opportunities for the girls. There are extensive playing fields with access to facilities for Tennis (including lawn), Cricket, Football, Equestrian, Hockey (including astro), Netball, Lacrosse and Athletics. The School also has a 25-metre indoor heated swimming pool, an excellent Sports Hall and recently opened stables with sand school.
Music
Visiting staff teach cello, clarinet, flute, guitar, piano, recorder, saxophone, violin, vocal etc. Girls who wish to do so are able to take Associated Board of Examination music exams. The Chamber Choir has sung all over the world, from San Francisco to Hong Kong. They have also sung more locally, being invited to many places such as Canterbury Cathedral. Every two years there is a Performing Arts Tour which, for those who participate, involves flying to other parts of the world to perform. Previous tours have been to Australia, Dubai, San Francisco and Barbados. The most recent tour was to New York where the girls sang at the Empire State Building, the United Nations Building and the Statue of Liberty. Girls can study LAMDA exams in drama and can study Musical Theatre. The current Head of Music is Mr Robert Cousins.
