Brighton College

All teachers are subject specialists based in well-equipped departments, and all Year 7-9 pupils learn Mandarin Chinese along with 2 other languages. An innovative ‘Story of Our Land’ course gives pupils a sense of the nation’s story and global developments. 26 A Level subjects are offered and an extraordinary 80% of candidates achieve A*/A, whilst 25-30 Oxbridge offers are received each year. House tutors monitor and guide the pastoral and academic progress of around 15 pupils each.

Brighton College’s teams regularly compete for regional and national honours with many pupils progressing to professional or elite amateur sporting careers (alumni boast over 40 Oxbridge Blues). Yet the school’s philosophy for sport is based very much on the participation and enjoyment of all pupils, regardless of ability. The College’s excellent facilities are enhanced by strong local links such as those with East Brighton Golf Club and the Withdean athletics stadium.
