About the College
​Established in 1845, Brighton College is one of the leading not-for-profit independent schools in the UK. Originally founded in open countryside, it is now encircled by a number of mainly Victorian housing developments.
With a large number of children (of whom over 1,000 are from BN postcodes) and over 600 employees, the College is a prominent educator and important to the local economy.
In a recent survey of the top 25 schools in the UK, it was the second highest provider of means-tested bursaries (worth £5.9M) including 24 Ukrainian refugee children on free places.
Fifteen years ago, the site suffered from poor facilities and unsustainable buildings with high carbon footprints.
As a custodian of this historic campus, the College has responded by investing in upgrading its facilities and integrating several award-winning buildings.
