 At this year's Annual Dinner, the Head Master gave a fascinating account of our very first OBs' escapades following their time at the College. Following some sneaky pilfering on our part we have at great expense secured a transcript of his speech (we asked for it... he gave it to us...) for your perusal:
"Brighton College was the first public school to be founded in Sussex, one of 68 public schools established across England between 1840 and 1870. From the outset, it attracted to it the sons of some of the greatest families in the land.

I am delighted to inform you that our A-Level results were even better this year: 95.1 % at grades A/B, compared to 94.0% in 2008, 87.7% in 2007, 77.8% in 2006 and 76.1% in 2005. I am sure that this will keep us among the top 20 schools in England and I trust that we will remain the top co-educational school in the land too.

Dear Old Brightonians,
St Mary's Hall and Roedean School have merged today. In his press release, the Chairman of Governors at Roedean School mentions "the growing pressures on the independent sector, particularly on single sex schools" while the Chairman of Governors of St Mary's Hall in his own press statement states that "the extent of the competition locally and the current economic circumstances mean that we have no choice".

When the position of Head Master became vacant, the position was advertised as "Headmaster and Chief Executive". How does the new Headmaster see his role differing from that of a traditional Head? And what is the Chief Executive part of his function?
The Head's job encompasses three schools (the College, the Prep School and the Pre-Prep school) and the governors simply wanted to make this clear in the job title.

 Dear Old Brightonians,
I thought you might be interested to hear that following an independent inspection by Ofsted, the boarding facilities and pastoral care at Brighton College were judged to be 'outstanding'. This is a verdict awarded to very few schools, and comes as news reached us that a league table published by the website www.best-schools.co.uk made Brighton the number 1 co-educational boarding school in the UK.
The college has invested more than £1 million in boarding facilities in the last year to help us meet the unprecedented demand from UK and overseas families wanting their children to board at Brighton. Further places will be available in September 2009 following additional investment. The boarding community here is now larger than anytime in half a century.
