Top Schools Southeast 2021

  • 244 high-performing state and independent schools featuring in our rankings, contributes four of our 26 Schools of the Decade.

  • 133 of the 500 top-performing state secondary schools are to be found in the southeast
  • Yet the appetite for independent education is huge, with 156,000 children educated in fee-paying schools here, 50,000 more than in London.

Brighton College seizes the title of UK Independent Secondary School of the Decade. In recent years it has made itself at home in our top 10, yet 15 years ago it did not even make the top 100.

Another independent school — Guildford High — has greater longevity in the top 10 than Brighton and wins our Southeast Independent Secondary School of the Decade title. Its senior girls have earned a place among the academic elite for the past eight years in succession. Guildford High Junior School topped the Parent Power prep school rankings published last week and is a former Prep School of the Year.

Led by Fiona Boulton since 2002, Guildford High School (GHS) is about much more than just fine results. As part of United Learning — a group of more than 90 schools spanning the independent and state sectors across England — the school found that the coronavirus lockdown provided the opportunity to share its gift for making learning fun and engaging.
