School research · Brighton College

Look more closely at Brighton College

A school-wide result can prompt a useful question, but it rarely finishes the enquiry. Start with the subjects, years or destinations that interest you, then follow the answer back to the original publication. You can bring the studies you need together in a dated briefing.

1,582 historical records · 1991–2026 · 17 studies. The years available differ between questions. Past results do not tell you which subjects a new pupil can take.

What would you like to understand?

The studies below explain what the results show and what could change the reading. A comparison can reveal a pattern worth asking about, while leaving the larger question of a school’s suitability open. The figures and sources are there to read for yourself.

Does a headline describe the whole sixth form?

A school with an IB or Pre-U route may publish an A-level figure that describes only some of its sixth form. Start by looking at who took which qualifications.

We do not yet have a study combining this school’s sixth-form qualifications. You can still read the results for each qualification in the original records.

Still to confirm now: Which qualifications and pathways will be available for the intended entry year? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

Does the comparison hold across different years?

A comparison needs years in which both schools published figures that count the same thing. Check whether a recent difference also appears earlier, and where missing years limit the view.

Comparison · Oxford offers / applications · 2024–2025

How do Brighton and MCS Oxford compare on Oxford offers / applications?

There are too few years with comparable figures to judge a pattern in Oxford offer rates. You can still see each year’s figures below.

Measure: Oxford offers divided by applications from the same applying school and named admissions round. Years: 2024–2025.

Read the figures and their limits
Oxford offers / applications: Brighton and MCS Oxford, each year both can be compared. The gap is Brighton minus MCS Oxford, in percentage points.
YearBrighton (%)MCS Oxford (%)Gap (points)
202423.0821.951.13
202540.5428.5711.97
Keep these limits with the answer
  • The rate compares applications and offers in the same admissions round. A school’s count of leavers going to Oxford cannot take the place of either figure.
  • Published results describe different groups of pupils, chosen in different ways. They can’t show the effect of attending a school, or what one pupil would achieve.
  • Only the years both schools can be compared on are used: 2024 and 2025. A missing or excluded year is not a zero result.
  • Fewer than five shared years, which is too few for the period check: it needs five.
  • These figures carry the record’s existing source checks, which are kept apart from background links. This edition didn’t reopen every original publication.
  • Offers are divided by applications made from the same school. An offer is not an acceptance or a final destination. This edition uses Oxford years up to 2025 only, and only those whose applications and offers both have an exact source check.
  • Historical results: the latest shared year is 2025. They can’t show 2026 results.

4 of the 4 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 0 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.

Open the original records and sources

With research access, read our interpretation of the differences between the schools, see whether the choice of years changes the answer, and prepare questions for each school. Read the study and its additional analysis.

Still to confirm now: Have the qualifications, subject mix or reporting basis changed since the years shown? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

What sits behind a school-wide result?

A school-wide percentage can conceal quite different results in individual subjects. Look at the grades and the number of entries together: one pupil may account for several subject entries.

Subject study · A-level subjects · 2025

What do Brighton’s recorded A-level subject entries show?

The government’s 2025 completion-cohort table gives 25 subjects with entries. The largest group is Mathematics (143 entries). 23 of them have both A* and A counts printed, so an A*–A percentage can be worked out.

Measure: A-level results by subject for the government’s 2025 completion cohort, with the counts as published. Years: 2025.

Keep these limits with the answer
  • These are not results-day figures, and the entries are not a count of pupils.
  • These are the government’s 2025 completion-cohort entries: qualifications completed by that cohort, not necessarily exams sat in 2025. The group can include up to three years of 16–18 study.
  • Each subject is taken by a different, self-selected group of pupils. Its percentages can’t show teaching quality or what one pupil would achieve.
  • A grade count that wasn’t printed, or was suppressed, is not treated as zero; without it, no percentage is given.
  • This is not a list of the subjects offered now. Check current subjects with the school.
  • No school-wide total, match with other sources or trend across years is drawn from this subject table.
  • These figures carry the record’s existing source checks, which are kept apart from background links. This edition didn’t reopen every original publication.
  • The 2025 completion cohort; not the subjects on offer in 2026.

Each row keeps its own source checks. The original government files weren’t reopened for this edition.

Open the original records and sources

With research access, look more closely at the subject groups: how their size affects the percentages, what the grades suggest, and what to ask about the programme offered today. Read the study and its additional analysis.

Still to confirm now: Is the subject offered now, can it fit the intended combination, and what entry conditions apply? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

What does a university destination list actually count?

A list of where leavers went can open up possibilities beyond the headline destinations. Check whose destinations it describes, and keep places taken up separate from applications and offers.

We have not yet published a destination study for this school. You can explore the dated university records in its public history below.

Still to confirm now: Which courses and pathways are available now, and which leavers does a newer published table include? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

Your selected briefing

We have selected one study to get you started. Choose up to 30 studies covering no more than five schools. A comparison counts both of its schools; the briefing includes the dates and sources you need to make sense of it.

Saving and issuing a new personal note require active research access. A note for client work requires Professional rights. The public answers and figures above are free.

What the historical record contains

These records collect what the school and other sources published over time. Before comparing two figures, check that they describe the same qualification and group. Applications, offers and places taken up each tell a different part of the university story.

Subjects, entry and the school week

A subject list is only the beginning. You also need to know whether the subjects fit together, what entry conditions apply and how the school day would work. The information below says when each source was checked and which year it concerns. Ask the school to confirm the arrangements for the year your child would join.

Where the publications leave a question open, we say so. We do not fill a missing date or condition with an assumption.

Permitted subject combinations
  • Lower Sixth pupils initially choose four subjects; from the second term they may discontinue one, with some continuing four. The 2027 guide offers Business or Sports Science BTEC Diploma alongside one A level, or Sports Science Extended Diploma as the whole programme.
  • The guide we checked does not list the exact A levels that can accompany a BTEC Diploma.
  • The BTEC routes have distinct entry thresholds and awards.

The school describes its general A-level programme and separately dates its BTEC routes for 2027. The subject count shown here does not describe every qualification route.

Entry conditions
  • For external A-level candidates in 2027: minimum mean GCSE grade 7.0 on the 9–1 scale, plus at least grade 6 in English Language and Mathematics. The guide sets equivalence values for A*–G grades. — 16+ / Year 12 entry
  • For Sports Science Extended Diploma BTEC: minimum mean GCSE grade 5.5 on the 9–1 scale. Selection uses verbal reasoning, Mathematics and a general paper followed by two interviews for shortlisted candidates. — 16+ / Year 12 entry

The 2027 guide gives different minimum requirements for A levels and BTECs. These say nothing about an individual pupil's chance of admission or eventual university destination.
