“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
Who we are
Lancing College is a co-educational boarding and day school for 13 to 18 year olds. Our pupils come to Lancing from across the South East, from London and from around the world. They become part of a caring community with stretching horizons and ambitious goals. We build on pupils’ strengths and ensure every child achieves their full potential.

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.
