About
Everything done at Brighton College can be traced back to the desire to create a climate where pupils are happy. That's why young people are encouraged to follow their curiosity and explore all aspects of school life. The teachers inspire excellence in the classroom, the co-curricular activities enable pupils to immerse themselves in the arts and in a huge variety of sports and their social enrichment programme helps bring meaningful change to the world around the students.
Boarding has never been so popular, and Brighton College are delighted that the number of boarders has trebled in ten years. For full and weekly boarders, Brighton College is a home away from home. All boarders benefit from state-of-the art facilities, warm relationships with those in their house "families", a rich programme of clubs and activities, and all that the College has to offer.
Recently named United Kingdom School of the Decade by The Sunday Times, the school is one of the country’s leading independent schools and regularly achieves the best A level and GCSE results of any co-educational school.
