Brighton College, Independent boarding school in Brighton and Hove, England
Brighton College is an independent school in Brighton and Hove operating across three separate sites that serve different age groups. The institution educates students from age 3 through 18, offering a full range of academic subjects alongside sports, music, and other activities.
Brighton College was founded in 1845 as the first Victorian-era school of its kind in Sussex, originally planned to use Brighton Pavilion. The school's establishment marked an important moment in the development of private education in the region.
The school introduced a flexible uniform policy that lets students under 16 choose between trousers and skirts regardless of gender identity. This approach reflects how the institution responds to what matters to young people today.
The school is conveniently located in Brighton with good access by public transport and parking options available. Visitor access to the sites depends on the school calendar, and it is advisable to contact the institution in advance before planning a visit.
The school maintains partnerships with seven international sister schools located across Asia and the Middle East, including in Singapore, Bangkok, and Dubai. These connections give students opportunities to engage with peers and educational experiences beyond the UK.
