Ardingly College

Some of the teachers (a few, not all) can loose their temper in a very bad and unprofessional way with both students and parents alike. I feel sorry for students on the receiving end, as it could be very damaging. Often the school sticks with their own to the detriment of parents' concerns. Having said that there are some great teachers and the spot light should not be taken away from them. The school is very academic and league result oriented which may not be to everyone's liking. Bullying does occur and it doesn't seem to be a priority problem for the school. Many students have left as a result. The grounds and facilities are fantastic if your child is sporty, especially for boys. They seem to be better catered for in terms of boarding and sports.

I had a lot of great experiences here. I really love the students teachers, and everyone else. Going to this school made my stay in the UK, the best. The school also allowed me to discover myself and open up.

A hugely pressurised environment with appaling pastoral care. There are so many negatives to this school and sadly they very much outweigh any positives. The school is only concerned with it's own position in the league tables. In our experience the children's wellbeing and mental health is ignored on every level. Serious bullying is rife and nothing is done about it. We are not the only parents to feel this way. A very damaging environment.

As a parent of two children who have passed through the school, I have nothing but praise for their incredible work, which has, over the years, seen both of those children rise to senior and very responsible managerial positions in specialist care work, one of them now based in France managing a major centre for mentally and physically handicapped teenagers and adults and the other now with MENCAP. It is undoubtedly down, in no small measure, to the teaching and pastoral care provided by Ardingly College. Highly recommended..

They really care about their students, its an awesome college, i really loved it, people are very nice and kind and i could meet friends from all over the world by the exange programs, im very grateful for recepting me and being so polite, i loved the people in UK :)

Great School, Great environment, Great facilities

Fantastic school. High sporting and academic results. Down to earth pupils with no arrogance allowed.

Very pretty campus.
