Brighton College Prep Handcross is a popular co-educational, day and boarding Prep School for around 400 pupils aged 2 to 13. Set in large, idyllic grounds, we are part of the Brighton College Family of Schools and about 30% of our Year 8 children move onto Brighton College each year.
Others secure scholarships and places to a wide variety of leading independent senior schools, both locally and throughout the country. Childhood is precious and we want our pupils to enjoy it 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.
