About Us
We are one of the top-performing colleges in the country, situated in the cosmopolitan seaside city of Brighton & Hove. Working here offers the combination of both a wonderful place to work and a great city in which to live. Our students and staff are colourful, aspirational and hard-working – which is perhaps why 96% of employees would “recommend BHASVIC as a good place to work”, and many of our students go on to Higher Education.
Our staff, whether they are teachers or other professionals, believe in the capacity of our students to achieve more than they think possible. We aim to be the first choice for students seeking the highest quality sixth form education in Sussex.
Student numbers at BHASVIC have more than doubled over the past 15 years to 3,750. Around half of our students progress from schools in Brighton and Hove with the other half travelling from East or West Sussex.
Ofsted inspected the College in December 2023 and graded the college as Outstanding in all areas. In 2024, our overall A level pass rate was 99%, with 70% of grades awarded at A*-B. Our Value-Added outcomes are also very strong and place us in the top 5% of providers nationally.
