The Prep School helps all children to believe in themselves and to excel in their own individual way.

The school motto is well known by pupils who pride themselves on trying to:
Be Kind.

The school is based on two sites within the vibrant city of Brighton; our Pre-Prep educates children from Nursery to Year 3, after which they progress on to the Prep site for Years 4 to 8. Pupils benefit from use of facilities at the College, including the Chapel, the Sarah Abraham Recital Hall, the dining facilities and the new School of Science and Sport. Our sports fixtures are played at the Jubilee ground pitches located nearby in the South Downs.

THE CITY
The College enjoys its location in Brighton, one of Britain’s youngest cities and one of the most vibrant in Europe.
In 2017, a national survey identified Brighton as the “happiest” city in the UK. It is close to the beautiful South Downs, within easy travelling distance of London (about 50 minutes by train), and about 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport. Portsmouth, Newhaven and the Channel Tunnel provide accessible links with the Continent.
Brighton is also a university city, and the College has good links with both the University of Sussex and Brighton University.
