Ardingly College, situated on a 240-acre campus with extensive facilities in the beautiful Sussex countryside in the UK, fosters a nurturing environment where every student is encouraged to discover their individual strengths. We are conveniently located just 15 minutes from London Gatwick airport, 40 minutes from London on the train and around a 1-hour drive from London Heathrow airport.
Our mission is to enable each student to reach their full academic and personal potential, equipping them to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Students tailor their academic path to match their abilities and interests, focusing on core subjects like Maths, English, and Science.
We offer a choice of A-levels or IB in the Sixth Form (with some BTEC options too) and provide a one-year International Academic Pathway for students aged 11 to 13 who need English .

We believe pastoral care is the most important thing we do; after all, if a teenager isn't happy they won't achieve their full potential. Our small pastoral and robust structures ensure that every pupil is recognised as an individual and no one is overlooked.
Each student's House, overseen by dedicated staff, becomes their supportive home throughout their time at Ardingly. Students at Ardingly College enjoy a rich co-curricular programme, with over 150 activities on offer including a huge range of Music, Dance and Drama options, as well as 25+ different sports.
