The celebrations at Brighton College continued today! Following the school’s record-breaking A-level results last week, which placed us as the top independent school in the country, pupils achieved the best ever GCSE results by a Sussex school. According to The Times snap survey, these results place us as the top co-educational school in UK.

With an astonishing 95% of grades at 9–7 and over half of the school’s GCSEs awarded Grade 9, pupils are delighted with their incredible achievements.

STEM subjects performed exceptionally well at the College, with 98% of pupils gaining Grades 9–7 and a fantastic 58% achieving Grade 9 across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths. In a year group that includes international gymnasts and swimmers, England hockey players, England cricketers, Harlequins rugby players and netball, hockey and chess champions, the talents of these pupils know no bounds.

Commenting on the continued success of the pupils, The Principal of Brighton College, Richard Cairns, said: “These are the best GCSE results in the county ever and will be amongst the very best in England. These spectacular results are entirely due to Brighton creating a culture where it is cool to care about your studies and normal to want to do well”.

Head Master, Steve Marshall-Taylor added “We are very proud of our pupils whose hard work and commitment have really paid off. They are the first cohort to enter our Sixth Form with the new world-class Sixth Form centre now up and running in the heart of the school. We’re excited to see all that they will go on to achieve and to contribute with us in the next two years.”
