A key component of Brighton’s internationalism is the importance it places upon ensuring that its sister
schools are authentically interpreting its values and ethos. Each school combines academic excellence
with a wealth of co-curricular opportunities, all underpinned by a deep commitment to the individual
needs and enthusiasms of every child. All pupils in the Brighton family of schools are valued for their own
sake and encouraged to develop their talents to the full, in a community where there are no stereotypes
and every achievement, however small, is noticed.

Brighton’s success is built upon recruiting genuinely inspirational teachers who can enthuse about their
subject and will maintain an exciting and vibrant intellectual environment in which children are able to
explore their interests, develop their existing talents and acquire new ones.

This is a unique opportunity to join an exceptional and hardworking team with the united goal of ensuring
that every child reaches their potential both academically and socially, by pushing boundaries and
