As Head of Future Schools, I am dedicated to supporting every family as they navigate the exciting journey from prep to senior school. A central part of my role is building strong relationships, not only with Brighton College, but also with a wide range of other excellent senior schools across the country. In the last 5 years, our pupils have moved on to 45 different schools, a testament to our commitment to finding the best fit for each child.
I work closely with parents, pupils, and teachers to ensure that each child finds the right destination to flourish, aligning with their individual strengths, interests, and ambitions. My aim is to provide clear, personalised guidance at every stage, ensuring pupils are thoroughly prepared to achieve their full potential in all assessments, including the ISEB Pre-Tests, academic scholarships, and entrance examinations.
Ultimately, I strive to make this significant process well-informed and positive, empowering each child to confidently embrace the exciting possibilities of their next school.

As a Brighton College School we have a very close relationship with the College, and many of our pupils leave Brighton College Prep Handcross to attend the senior school.
We benefit hugely from our relationship with the College, through the sharing of knowledge and best practice as well as the use of facilities and termly visits for events and lectures. The relationship between us and the Brighton Family of Schools is an advantage to every Brighton College Prep Handcross pupil, regardless of whether or not they go on to Brighton College as their senior school.
The best way to experience what life is like at Brighton College Prep Handcross is to join us at an Open Morning, where you will have the chance to talk to pupils and teachers about what makes our school such a special place, and to ask any questions you might have.
We also offer Mini Owls Toddler Club for families interested in joining our Nursery or Reception classes. Sessions are held weekly in our Nursery during term time and provide the ideal opportunity for parents and children to explore our school.
