The College
Sixth Form College of some 1700 full-time students aged between 16 and 19 years. It was founded in 1532 under the terms of the will of a prominent member of the Mercers’ Company in the City of London. Our links with the foundation remain, as does our original purpose to provide free education for young people in Horsham and the surrounding area.
