Published by Brighton College Prep Kensington on Monday 31st of March 2025

We are thrilled that Brighton College has been awarded the prestigious title of United Kingdom School of the Decade by The Sunday Times. 

In their Independent Schools Guide, widely acknowledged as the most authoritative survey of the top schools in the country, The Sunday Times names the College as “one of the hottest tickets in independent education.”

The editor of the Schools Guide said that “in the course of the past 10 years, Brighton has become the leading co-educational independent school in the country. Under the excellent headship of Richard Cairns for the past 14 years, the school is progressive in outlook and the children are taught kindness and respect for one another.”

Head Master Richard Cairns commented: “I am delighted. But the real credit for this award must go to our wonderfully inspirational teachers and energetic and positive pupils.”
