Set in the heart of the West Sussex countryside some 20 minutes from Gatwick Airport and 45 minutes by train from London, Ardingly College is a flourishing independent co-educational school that offers an exciting blend of tradition and innovation. The school was founded in 1858 and Christian values of tolerance underpin all that we do here. Our beautiful school buildings and stunning grounds offer a superb learning environment and a range of activities that is second to none.

Our proud heritage and historic buildings add much to life at Ardingly, but rather than dwelling on the past, we focus on the rapidly changing world in which we live.

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.

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.
