Windlesham School
Brighton, Brighton and Hove, South East · BN1 5AA
A small independent school in Brighton, Windlesham takes children from age two through to eleven, with around 139 pupils on its roll. The intimate scale means each child is well known, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school 'excellent' for the quality of pupils' education. Inspectors did, however, judge that the school did not meet all compliance requirements at its inspection, which is worth discussing with the school directly. Led by Head Mr John Ingrassia, it is co-educational and has no religious affiliation.
