No child excels at everything, but every child can excel at something. We are a large campus with excellent facilities but our pupil numbers are contained which allows us to get to know each and every student.
We work with our children to discover their qualities and prepare them for their future beyond school.
Our students excel with strong academic choice.
Pupils design their academic programme to suit their abilities and interests whilst studying core subjects of Maths, English and Science. In the Sixth Form, there is a choice of A level, IB or BTEC. There is a course of Independent Research and IT skills and an extensive enrichment programme is offered.
Sport, music, art, dance and drama feature highly in the lives of pupils at Ardingly College. We have a reputation for excelling on the football and hockey field and our theatre productions outstanding. The art department encourages individuality whilst pupils are strongly encouraged to use drama to express themselves.
We support every child to find balance and fulfilment, whilst developing the resilience to overcome any challenges. Each child is allocated to a house and our pastoral care provides several layers of support so that every child has professional adult support from their Housemaster or Housemistress as well as a personal tutor.
Scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+.
