A-levels
Brighton College pupils achieve exceptional A-level results year after year, reflecting outstanding teaching, intellectual curiosity and a genuine love of learning. Our results are among the strongest of any co-educational school in the UK, opening doors to leading universities and exciting futures around the world.
This year, over 97% of grades were A*–B, with a huge majority of all grades at either A* or A. Our pupils achieved an extraordinary 372 A*s, shared equally between girls and boys. More than two-thirds of these were awarded in STEM subjects, reflecting the remarkable strength of our pupils across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Across a stellar year group, individual performances were equally impressive, with 52 pupils achieving three or more A*s, 25 securing four or more, and seven achieving five A*s. Mathematics was a particular strength, with an exceptional 126 A*s awarded in Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Three Brighton College pupils also achieved the highest marks in the country in English Literature, Art and Photography.
Pupils are now preparing to take up places at many of the world’s leading universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London, Harvard, Stanford and Yale. We are immensely proud of everything they have achieved and look forward to seeing where their talents, curiosity and ambition take them next.
