At Brighton College, pupils are treated with love, kindness and respect, and we celebrate the uniqueness of every individual.

Pupils at Brighton College are inspired by gifted and enthusiastic teachers to achieve more than they ever thought possible and to develop a life-long love of learning.

We never forget that there is a whole world beyond the classroom. With over 100 activities to choose from over ten designated activity slots each week, pupils have the time and space to enrich their academic lives and pursue their interests outside the classroom.

For our full and weekly boarders, Brighton College is a home away from home. Our boarders benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, a dedicated boarding team to ensure their happiness and wellbeing and a rich programme of clubs and activities.

Through their own hard work, and the guidance and support of our passionate teachers, our pupils regularly achieve the best results of any co-educational school in the country, placing us in the top 1% of schools in England over the last five years, and our pupils go on to the best universities – including Oxbridge, Russell Group and the top 25 global universities.

The best way to experience what life is like at Brighton College is to join us at an Open Morning, where you will have the chance to talk to pupils and teachers about what makes our school such a special place, and to answer any questions you have about life here.
