Select Plus - our recommendation for 2027
This programme offers you a guarantee of one of our schools in Sussex which has been awarded a government inspection ration of ‘Outstanding’. Only about 15% of all schools in England achieve this rating, so you can be sure you will be attending a top school.
Membership of Brighton House is also included in the programme, giving you extra activities, social opportunities and support. Make sure to benefit from this combination!
Seaford Head is our only school with a view of the sea. It offers the best of both worlds: stunning countryside and easy access to Brighton.
Romero’s confidently state they want to be the best school in England. In our view, they are already well on their way due to excellent standards and passionate education.
Of course, you don’t have to be Catholic to go to St Paul’s and benefit from the great education and easy access to London and Brighton with fast, safe trains.
Alongside your school placement, you will have access to Brighton House in the afternoons, on selected evenings and at weekends. This is where your experience truly deepens.
At Brighton House, you can join clubs and activities such as debate and volleyball, prepare for internationally recognised Cambridge English examinations, spend time with others, and shape your life beyond the classroom—without the additional academic classes included in our SEI programme.
Most importantly, Brighton House is a place to belong: a place where you are known, welcomed and supported. A place where you can cook the meals you miss from home, spend time with friends, and always know there is somewhere to go.
This programme is my personal top recommendation for students who choose not to attend our private school, South England International, but still want many of the same advantages. It offers a wonderful balance of independence, support and opportunity. You will live in the Brighton area and attend one of our carefully selected partner schools to the east, west or north of the city, giving you access to an excellent British school experience while enjoying life on the Sussex coast. At the same time, our team remains close by and actively involved throughout your stay. You are never far from support, guidance or a familiar face whenever you need one. What makes this programme special is everything beyond the school day. To understand why, take a look at what has been happening at Brighton House this year.
