Academic Results
"Most forward thinking school" The Week 2017
"Brighton College is the leading co-educational school in England"
The Sunday Times 2017
Academic results are consistently the best in Sussex and among the best in England.
Over the last five years, Brighton has consistently achieved results that place the school in the top 1% of schools in England. It is primarily for this reason that the school has been the recipient of so many awards:
- Sunday Times School of the Year 2011-12
- Tatler Headmaster of the Year 2012-13
- UK Independent School of the Year 2013-14
- Britain's most forward thinking school 2014
- Outstanding Independent School 2016-17
- Britain's most forward thinking school 2017
Brighton is the only school in Sussex to make it into the Sunday Times' UK Top 100 schools and also outperforms many much more selective schools. This large improvement from entry at Year 7 or Year 9 to the final public exams is reflected in some of the best value-added scores in the country.
All of this is down to the school's recruitment and retention of truly outstanding teachers who inspire children here to achieve more than anyone thought possible.
