History In 2005/2006, Brighton Hill School changed its tutoring system by introducing mixed-year tutor groups. This change led to subsequent pupil protests that were covered in the regional news. In an Ofsted inspection, the school was praised. However, it was also criticised for poor communication with parents. In recent years, the school has constantly ranked above local and national averages. The school houses consisted of Dorney, Greenwich, Portland and Stratford until 2021; prior to that, they were named after capital cities. In June 2008, the college was again in the local newspaper after over 200 pupils were suspended following a protest on the school field against an extension of 20 minutes to the school day, and the plans to force the entire school of 1,300 students to queue all at once. 117 children were excluded for the rest of the week. Halfway through the school summer holiday, all 117 excluded students were sent a letter stating that expelled students had had the punishment erased from their records, as discussed between the head master and the school governors. The school is one of eight schools in the United Kingdom to become an ambassador school for the Them & Us citizenship project, as well as becoming part of the PiXL Edge program. Language learning app Memrise also has a relationship with the school, with founder Ted Cooke delivering talks to students to encourage them in their revision. One of the school's MFL classrooms subsequently became a Memrise suite, with tablets and other equipment to help with revision. In the school's Ofsted inspection in May 2017, it achieved an overall 'good' rating for the first time in over ten years and in its 2022 inspection was rated 'outstanding' in three of the four categories while attaining a 'good' rating overall. Student organisations The school operates a Student Voice, which is run by two Year 11 students, supported by the Year 10 representatives. The school Student Newspaper was formed in 2017. The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (ABA) were formed in 2017, being joined a year later by the mental health-focused Wellbeing Ambassadors. Both groups are stationed inside the school's Maths block, which becomes the Wellbeing Square at lunchtime. The school recently received the Silver Diana Award accreditation
