A Culture of Kindness

We cultivate a culture of kindness and respect, where every child feels valued for who they are as individuals. We nurture qualities such as honesty, good manners, and consideration for others. 

We encourage wholehearted effort, value each child's unique qualities, and foster a community grounded in compassion and understanding.

From the time they enter Nursery, we encourage our pupils to spread kindness to others and themselves. Our little ones learn to practise kind gestures, and as a result, they are given a kindness leaf to hang on our Kindness Tree.  

From Reception, pupils participate in our Caught Being Kind initiative, which is deeply rooted in our school culture. In our weekly assemblies, we celebrate random acts of kindness and award kindness certificates to pupils for their efforts.

Our school has a dedicated pastoral team and highly qualified wellbeing practitioners, ensuring that everyone receives care in academic and personal aspects.

We are here to support not only our pupils and teachers but also our parents. Regular workshops are held for parents on topics such as emotional regulation, social media and online safety awareness, and strategies to help your child make the most of their revision and study time.

Our pupils know that there is a whole world beyond the classroom, and we encourage them to remember that they are a part of society, not apart from it.

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