GCSE Results

The College takes great pride in recruiting only the very best teachers, and consistently achieves the best A-level and GCSE results of any co-educational school in the country.

This year, our Year 11 pupils celebrated record GCSE results, with over 1,100 Grade 9s, the most common grade at 51%. 39 pupils secured at least nine Grade 9s, with 22 gaining an incredible 10, 11 or 12 9s.

These results led to Brighton College receiving an unprecedented three accolades in The Sunday Times Parent Power Schools Guide. The Sunday Times rankings also placed Brighton College as the Top Co-Educational School in the UK.

We’re enormously proud of our pupils for all their hard work.
