Founded in 1845 by William Aldwin Soames, Brighton College was the first independent school in East Sussex. Nestled in the vibrant coastal city of Brighton, it combines historic Gothic Revival architecture with cutting‑edge facilities. Recognised as England’s Independent School of the Year in 2019 and UK School of the Decade, the College consistently excels academically and culturally.

More than 100 clubs and societies flourish in drama (15 productions/year), dance, music ensembles (22 groups), rowing, cricket, netball, STEM, debating, and community service – pupils engage in 328 days of service a year.
Boarding & Pastoral Care
Brighton College offers boarding from age 11, with fifteen houses supervised by housemasters and tutors. Pupils benefit from a supportive pastoral network, personal development programmes, and progressive uniform policies, including inclusive dress option.
The College pioneered compulsory Mandarin instruction and champions inclusivity—introducing gender-neutral uniform policies in 2016 and hosting the first gay head boy. Known for its ethos of “kindness and respect,” Brighton prides itself on fostering empathy alongside excellence.
