The School
Founded in 1845, it stands on high ground in the Kemp Town district of Brighton. It enjoys handsome buildings (the school chapel, which is in regular use, is especially striking) in attractive surroundings with ample playing fields. Originally a boys’ school, girls were first admitted to the sixth form in 1973, and throughout the school in 1988.
The teaching is of a high standard and examination results are very good. It is a good all-round school, with plenty of regard for the less talented. There is a school committee, elected by pupils. Strong in music, art and drama; also in sports and games, with many county representatives.
It offers a wide range of activities and there is considerable involvement in local community schemes. Full use is made of the cultural amenities of Brighton.
