Houses
Brighton College has 11 houses which all serve a similar but different purpose. The houses are all split by gender, although staff of both sexes can be attached to any house. All houses contain between 48 and 70 pupils.
The house system provides not only a framework on which sporting, music and other competitions can be formed, but also a core community for the children.

Against his unacquaintances the rich
