United Kingdom
School of the Decade
The Sunday Times

Welcome from the Principal

As Principal, I believe passionately in the importance of the individual.

Every child at Brighton College is valued for his or her own sake and encouraged to develop his or her talents to the full. If you were to ask current parents why they chose Brighton College for their child, they would tell you the pupils here are cheerful, balanced, at ease with themselves and each other – yet excited and enthused by the challenges before them. They might add that the College succeeds in combining academic excellence with a wealth of opportunities, all underpinned by a deep commitment to the individual needs and enthusiasms of each child.

We were thrilled to be named United Kingdom School of the Decade by The Sunday Times, who praised the culture of kindness that underpins everything we do here.

The best way to get to know us is to come and visit. There are Open Mornings held throughout the year, and the pupils of Brighton College who will be your guides on the day are the best proof of everything contained in these pages. I could ask for no better ambassadors.

Richard Cairns, MA (Oxon) Principal
