Brighton College Prep Handcross is a happy and vibrant day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 2 to 13.
We believe childhood is precious and want our pupils to enjoy this special time for as long as possible, within an environment that offers a wide range of stimulating opportunities for growth and development, both inside and outside the classroom.
Our school is purposeful, ambitious, forward-thinking and most importantly of all, it is kind. Set in 52 acres of idyllic countryside, we offer an exciting, bright and buzzing family school, where we are well known for our welcoming atmosphere, high academic standards, outstanding teaching and exceptional care for every child.
Academic excellence is at the very heart of a Brighton College education. We have the highest expectations for pupils, in terms of personal progress and academic attainment. This is achieved by fostering in each pupil a love of learning, curiosity about the world around them, and a deep intrinsic motivation to be the very best version of themselves.
The opportunities beyond the classroom inspire a love of sport, performing arts and creativity. Our outstanding teachers support each child individually in their health, wellbeing and mindfulness, as they make their way through an exceptional educational journey, in our happy, safe and caring environment.
When children leave Brighton College Prep Handcross at the end of Year 8, they are confident, resilient, academically curious and – most importantly – kind. As part of the Brighton College Family of Schools, many of our children move on to Brighton College, whilst others go to many other excellent Senior Schools in the area and beyond.
From Year 4 (age 8), we offer a family-style boarding experience for either full, weekly or flexi boarders. We have a comprehensive bus service that picks up pupils from Sussex, Surrey and London.
We would love to welcome you to our school so you can see and feel the magic of Brighton College Prep Handcross for yourselves. You can register for an Open Morning via our website.
