Prep School

It is our aim in the Prep School to give the children in our care a full and exciting school experience where

there are no lids on learning and expectations in all areas of development are high. We want the children

to maximize their own potential; to achieve more than they thought possible and take pride in their

achievements as well as learning to manage with dignity the times when they experience

disappointments.

Beyond the classroom, Prep pupils will be encouraged to explore new disciplines, skills and interests; to

give everything a try and in doing so learn to take risks and to risk failure. It is our belief that in doing this

we are enabling them to find their passion to ‘Work Hard and Think Big’ which will in turn support

everything else that they do. At Brighton College Prep School we will ensure that pupils are able to do all

of this alongside a rigorous academic programme, knowing they are in a safe and secure environment. Our

teachers lead by example and along with excellent teaching, they all offer extra-curricular activities and are

involved in all aspects of school, both inside and outside the classroom.
