What we think
An amazing school for top academic performers with ample time and energy for activities beyond the books.

The Details

Academics:

The school offers GCSEs and A-Levels.

Brighton College shines with consistently excellent academic results. In 2023, its GCSE results yielded a spectacular 93% 9-7 grades, and its A-Levels a similarly impressive 81% A-grades. Brighton is consistently in the Top 20 UK schools.

Language-wise, Latin, Greek, Mandarin, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian are on offer.

Boarding:

36% of pupils board and flexi-boarding is popular here.

Five boarding houses for years 9-13 - two for girls and three for boys. Brighton College is known for many interhouse competitions. We think the entrepreneurial competition where pupils can win £3000 to bring their business idea to life is most exciting.

Pupils share rooms until the U6th, when everyone gets a single room.

Exeat weekends are compulsory.

Strengths:

Brighton College is known for innovative initiatives like going plastic-free within two years, creating a gender-neutral school uniform and mixed boarding houses.

Sports is huge at Brighton with rugby, netball, cricket and athletics standing out. Other stong sports are hockey, tennis, swimming and sailing.

A key thing is of course the location: Brighton College is a proud part of happening seaside town Brighton and gets involved with anything from community service to using the amazing cultural and entertainment offer that Brighton has.

Weaknesses:

We'd love a few more full boarders! With boarders in the minority and flexi boarding on the up, international boarders can feel a little left out.
