SML College
Fishergate, West Sussex, South East · BN41 1QH
With just 38 pupils, SML College is among the smallest schools a family is likely to encounter, and that intimacy defines it. This independent, co-educational school sits in Fishergate, West Sussex, and its modest roll means classes are necessarily small and individual attention is built into the everyday rhythm of the place. It is inspected by Ofsted rather than one of the independent inspectorates. Families drawn to a close-knit, personal setting rather than a large institution will find the scale here distinctive.
