Brighton College

As a Brighton College School we have a very close relationship with the College, and many of our pupils leave Handcross Park to attend the senior school. We benefit hugely from this relationship with the College, through the sharing of knowledge and best practice as well as the use of facilities and termly visits for events and lectures. The relationship between us and the Brighton Family of Schools is an advantage to every Handcross Park pupil, regardless of whether or not they go on to Brighton College as their senior school.


The link provides a quality standard, and staff throughout the family share best practice

The Good Schools Guide


Brighton College

Brighton College is one of Britain's leading schools. The College was given the coveted title of School of the Decade by The Sunday Times in 2020. In their Independent Schools Guide, widely acknowledged as the most authoritative survey of the top schools in the country, The Sunday Times names Brighton College as “one of the hottest tickets in independent education.”

The editor of the Schools Guide said that “in the course of the past 10 years, Brighton has become the leading co-educational independent school in the country. Under the excellent headship of Richard Cairns for the past 14 years, the school is progressive in outlook and the children are taught kindness and respect for one another.
