About Us


The College of Richard Collyer in Horsham, 'Collyer's', is one of the leading sixth form colleges in the country and the top state provider of A Levels in West Sussex. The College has an attractive campus and classrooms are well resourced, with ambitious plans for growth in the coming years that are already started. There is a collegiate and professional ethos amongst staff and students within which excellent teaching and learning can flourish.



In September 2025 we converted to become a 16-19 academy as part of the Horsham Learning Alliance, a new multi-academy trust founded by Collyer's and The Forest School.



The College provides education for over 2,750 young people in the 16-19 age range. Around half of each year's intake comes from the four partner 11-16 schools in Horsham: Forest, Millais, Tanbridge House and Bohunt. Many others come from a wide range of schools which are further afield, including the independent as well as the maintained sector. Collyer's has a very successful and consistent record in external examinations. In 2025 the A level high grade rate (A*-B) was 60%. Results across our other course types such as vocational, technical, foundation and GCSE are equally strong. Collyer's also runs leisure Adult Education courses in the evenings with students studying a range of recreational adult learning courses.



Collyer's is a rewarding and stimulating place in which to work, with a strong identity and sense of community. We look forward to receiving your application if you would like to join us.
