Headmaster and family 2010a

Welcome to the outstanding academic and all-round prep school in Brighton. We have a unique emphasis on the individual development of each child and the most spacious site of any junior school in the area.

A school of around 200 pupils we offer a traditional and broad education for your child in the context of a well-established family ethos. Preparing children for a wide range of senior schools locally and nationally we take pride in ensuring that each individual child receives the attention pastorally, creatively and academically that they need in small classes. We have an enviable record of scholarship success academically as well as in drama, art, music and sport. Our individual learning programme has been lauded as a model by repeated inspection teams. Our performing arts are renowned. Girls and boys, boarders and day pupils flourish here.

Caroline and I look forward to welcoming you to our school very soon.

Simon Hitchings, MA (Oxon)
Headmaster
