“Our four aims describe exactly what a Lancing education is for. A community built on Christian values and real kindness. Minds stretched well beyond the exam syllabus. A co-curricular life rich enough for every pupil to discover something in themselves. A school that uses its strength for good beyond its own walls. We live this out every day.”
Dr Scott Crawford, Head Master

My child is very happy at the College. He sees Lancing as his second home. Every one of the staff have made the Third Former’s feel at home, starting with senior staff, all the way to Matrons, Kitchen Staff, Transport, Reception, Cafe, Shop, Medical Center, grounds staff and so on. Thank you Lancing! My child is safe and well cared for at the College.
