For 180 years, the generosity of the Brighton College community has been crucial to our success.
Old Brightonians, parents, and friends of the school play an indispensable role in ensuring that generations of young people can enjoy and benefit from a first-class education – one grounded in values of kindness, curiosity and confidence.
Unlike many other leading schools, Brighton was not founded with a large financial endowment. Philanthropic support drives vital change across the breadth of school life and is instrumental in widening access to our life-changing education.
“Brighton’s magical ethos of kindness opened my mind to endless opportunities. My experiences at College have instilled crucial life skills, confidence and a self-belief to give everything a go and do the right thing.”
Tammy (Ch. 2020–22)
The Brighton Fund is an unrestricted fund that impacts and benefits the breadth of school-life. Donations to The Brighton Fund are powerful as they will be directed to the area of greatest need.
Generous donations to The Brighton Fund are making an impact in three core areas:
Welcoming those with experience of disadvantage and displacement through 110% scholarships, building relationships across our local and global communities.
Creating an inspiring and sustainable environment for teaching and learning whilst preserving the heritage of our buildings and grounds.
Embedding innovative and meaningful experiences throughout and beyond our curriculum, encouraging our pupils to ask questions and make a difference.
“The bright new state-of-the-art Dance Studio in The Richard Cairns Building is attracting world-class teachers; we now have more pupils dancing than ever before.”
Amanda Schofield - Director of Dance
A monthly gift to Brighton College ensures that our school continues to flourish as a centre of innovation, inspiration and excellence.
By choosing to donate to The Brighton Fund, you can make an impact by widening access through scholarships, enriching pupils with meaningful experiences beyond the curriculum, or by restoring our heritage and developing our inspiring spaces.
