We provide opportunities for every child to excel, both inside and outside the classroom. Our stimulating environment develops pupils to be enthusiastic, energetic and kind – contagious qualities that enable a vibrant and warm atmosphere to flourish.

We have the highest aspirations for all our pupils and enable them to achieve their full potential in every area of school life. Pupils are encouraged to expand their learning by stepping out of their comfort zone, safe in the knowledge they will be supported at every step of their educational journey.

Our children learn much more than the curriculum. Their lessons are enriched with trips, workshops and visits to inspire and encourage their engagement with the wider world.

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.
