Admissions

Admissions
OX Brighton welcomes applicants aged 13 to 18 from all backgrounds and nationalities. Applications are accepted all year round, with programmes starting in September including pre-GCSE, GCSE and two-year A-level options; one- and two-term Study Abroad Programmes are available for Years 9, 10 and 12. The admissions journey begins with an enquiry via the online form to confirm places and obtain any needed information. You then complete the online application form and pay the application fee, and may be asked to provide supporting documents such as school reports, reference letters, or exam certificates. An assessment and interview follow: admissions tests are required and vary by year, with Years 9 and 10 taking online aptitude tests plus English assessment, Year 11 taking online aptitude tests plus maths and combined science papers, and Year 12 taking online aptitude tests plus assessments in maths, physics, biology and chemistry. Successful applicants are invited to an online or in-person interview. After the interview a place is offered; offers for non-native English speakers are conditional on IELTS and other conditions may apply. To confirm the place, a deposit must be paid by the date stated in the offer letter. Ahead of the first day, the admissions team sends a pre-arrival guide and documents, and returns them before starting; overseas entrants receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for visa applications. The team includes Admissions Representatives around the world to support your journey, and the overall process from enquiry to offer typically takes up to two weeks, though timelines may vary. The school aims to respond to enquiries within 24 hours (Mon–Fri).
