Academic

Studying at Ardingly College will add a new dimension to your life as a student, whether you choose to be a boarder or a day student. In every lesson and every activity throughout the busy day, you will experience the excellent teaching and the warm encouragement that have made Ardingly such a popular and successful choice for generations of students.

Ardingly College works with families to ensure that pupils have high academic expectations, achieve success in public examinations and discover interests that will stay with them for life. We continue to be proud to teach our boys and girls to learn, to think independently, to challenge and to discuss, rather than be treated as empty vessels to be filled with facts. Our academic success speaks for itself! Class sizes are small and each pupil will continue to select a Tutor to supervise his or her academic progress. Ardingly  College will continue to have a thriving academic life to stretch the brightest, and to provide appropriate support for those who need it.

When your time at Ardingly finally comes to an end, we want you to be able to look back on your days here with genuine pleasure and pride at what you have achieved. You will leave us having had an excellent, rounded education; you will have been well-prepared for university and life beyond; and you will have the confidence and the skills needed to take your place as a productive member of the global community.

Ardingly is an outstanding independent co-educational school that offers an excellent all-round education. However, rather than taking our word for it, come and visit us and see for yourself.

Ardingly is proud to have been certified as one of the Top UK International Baccalaureate Independent Schools in 2010 in the league tables published on www.best-schools.co.uk
