The Mystery Of Edwin Drood forms part of the BBC's celebration of Dickens as we go into the bicentenary of his birth, in 2012.

Matthew Burgess, the deputy chief executive and general counsel of the Independent Schools Council, which represents more than 1,200 schools, advised the council on its judicial review of the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance in the upper tribunal of the High Court. The tribunal ruled that the guidance must be rewritten and that decisions on how schools operate are for that charity's trustees and not the commission.

The Sgt. Major Chris O’Connell Memorial took place on a freezing January afternoon, but the warmth of feeling amongst the Old Brightonians who came to celebrate Chris’s life staved off the cold. Two former Headmasters were in attendance, Bill Blackshaw and John Leach, and Brighton College was represented by various staff including Deputy-Head John Weeks, Elizabeth Cody and Common Room President Steve Radojcic.
