With highly experienced, friendly, and talented staff, the college provides an outstanding standard of education, just as other Brighton Colleges do the world-over. “We are committed to instill a life-long love of learning in every child, equipping them with the curiosity and confidence necessary to achieve anything, which is something that sets us apart from other schools in the area and indeed the wider country”, says Head Master, Simon Crane. The College provides endless opportunities for pupils to pursue their passions and discover new talents. With an offering of over 200 co-curricular activities outside the usual timetable, pupils can experience everything from traditional team sports to horse riding and sailing, modern languages including Spanish, German and Mandarin, Model United Nations, and the Duke of Edinburgh. Not to mention the endless music and performing arts opportunities across the school with multiple choirs, bands, and orchestras.

A high level of academic achievement is reached every year by pupils, with outstanding results consistently achieved at GCSE and A Level.
