Outstanding teaching is complemented by an extraordinary breadth of opportunities in sport, music, drama, the creative arts and leadership, enabling every pupil to discover and develop their passions.

Guided by our values of kindness, innovation and a love of learning, we encourage every pupil to think independently, embrace new challenges and grow in confidence. Over two transformative years, our Sixth Form prepares young people not only for success at the world's leading universities, but also to make a positive difference in the world beyond Brighton College.

Our Sixth Form pupils are taught by subject specialists who inspire intellectual curiosity, encourage independent thinking and prepare them for success in their A-levels, at university and beyond. In our purpose-built learning spaces, pupils are challenged to explore ideas in greater depth, develop confidence in their own thinking and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

Life in the Sixth Form extends far beyond the classroom. From sport and performing arts to leadership, societies and volunteering, pupils have over 100 activities to choose from, with dedicated time each week to explore new interests and pursue existing passions. Educational trips in the UK and abroad further enrich their learning, building confidence, broadening horizons and creating experiences that stay with them long after they leave Brighton College.
