Brighton College Wins Triple Crown in Oscars of Educational World

Brighton College has today received an unprecedented three accolades in The Sunday Times Parent Power Schools Guide – UK Boarding School of the Year 2025, Top School of the Year for A-levels 2025 and Top Academic School in South East England 2025. The Sunday Times rankings also place Brighton College as the Top Co-Educational School in the UK.

These prestigious awards are revealed in The Sunday Times’ annual Parent Power supplement. Uniquely combining both GCSE and A-level results, as well as schools’ wider educational offerings, these awards are the Oscars of the educational world.

These latest achievements follow on from Brighton College receiving the title of ‘UK School of the Decade’ from The Sunday Times – the only school to have ever received this accolade.

The esteemed UK Boarding School of the Year 2025 award is based on a range of criteria, above and beyond facilities and results. Brighton College is a stone’s throw from the beach and benefits from clean sea air and views of the South Downs national park. Our boarders enjoy stylish and luxurious living areas, as well as the school’s state-of-the-art facilities, which create the ultimate environment for pupils to live, learn and grow. There are many wonderful areas at the school for boarders to enjoy, including a fully equipped gym, private cinema, a fabulous swimming pool, rooftop running track and a wonderful dance studio.

Top School of the Year for A-levels 2025 and Top Academic School in South East England 2025 are both reflective of yet another year of record-breaking A-level and GCSE exam results for the school. Brighton College pupils achieved astounding results; A-level results saw a phenomenal 99.3% at A*-B, 87% at A*-A and almost half at A*. Fittingly for the top co-educational school in the country, the girls and the boys each gained 167 A* grades. At GCSE, pupils celebrated over 1,100 grade 9s, with 95% at 9-7 (A*-A) and 81% at 9-8 (A*).
