There are currently around 100[1] pupils from the ages seven to thirteen; with a roughly even split of boys and girls. HistoryAshdown House was originally an 18th-century country house, completed in 1794 by Sussex-born Benjamin Latrobe who was later one of the architects of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. and also designed the nearby Hammerwood Park and the front portico of the White House in Washington.[2] Ashdown is a Grade II* listed building.[3] The school was founded in Brighton in 1843 as a boys' school and moved to Ashdown House in 1886. It first became co-educational in 1975.[4] Abuse at the school is much of the subject of former pupil Alex Renton's book Stiff Upper Lip.[5] Notable former pupilsNotable Old Ashdownians (OAs) include:
