Brighton College is delighted to have received an unprecedented three accolades in The Sunday Times Parent Power Schools Guide: UK Boarding School of the Year 2025, Top School of the Year for A-levels 2025 and Top Academic School in South East England 2025.
The Sunday Times rankings also place Brighton College as the Top Co-Educational School in the UK.
Our school community is instrumental in shaping the exceptional education our pupils receive. The generosity of our parents, alumni and friends is at the core of what makes Brighton special and helps us realise our ambitious plans for the school.
We are immensely grateful to those who continue to volunteer their time and philanthropically fund key projects.
This support provides invaluable opportunities to our pupils, creates inspiring spaces for teaching and learning and helps us offer more scholarships and bursaries than ever before.
Over the last decade, we have undertaken an ambitious masterplan to create new and improved spaces for teaching and learning across the school.
Our award-winning facilities provide our school community with spaces that inspire every one of our pupils and also help us to attract brilliant teachers to the College.
The Richard Cairns Building, our newest development, brings the performing arts and digital technologies into one innovative hub at the heart of the campus.
Designed by pioneering Dutch architects krft, the new facility offers pupils a 400-seat theatre, a dance school, state-of-the-art computing and digital media suites, professional rehearsal studios and a Sixth Form Centre.
Thank you to the parents, Old Brightonians and friends of the College, whose philanthropy continues to enable us to realise these important developments.
We are proud to offer fully-funded bursaries to local young people with the potential to thrive at Brighton College.
Our bursary programme offers a life-changing education to young people from our local community and beyond, many of whom have significant disadvantage or displacement. In recent years, with the philanthropic support from our donors, we have been able to provide free places to more incredible boys and girls than ever before.
