Brighton College is a fee-charging, co-educational, boarding and day public school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18 in Brighton and Hove, England, UK. The school has three sites: Brighton College (the senior school, ages 11 to 18), Brighton College Preparatory School (children aged 8 to 13, located next to the senior school) and the Pre-Prep School (children aged 3 to 8).
Brighton College was named England's Independent School of the Year in 2019 by The Sunday Times.[1] In 2018 it was ranked fifth in the country for average A-level results,[2] with 99% of grades being A*–B.[3] In 2023, the school saw 80% of its A-level candidates score A*/A. Brighton College has been listed in The Schools Index since 2021 as one of the world's leading 150 private schools and one of the top 30 in the UK senior schools category.[4][5]
In 2011, Brighton College opened its first international campus in Abu Dhabi. Brighton College International Schools (BCIS) has subsequently opened campuses in Al Ain, Bangkok, Dubai and Singapore.[6] Brighton College Abu Dhabi is also listed in The Schools Index as one of the top 15 schools in the Middle East.[7]
In September 2023 the college opened a prep school in Kensington, central London.[8]
