Leavers' Destinations

The Lancing Sixth Form is an increasingly popular choice for parents and pupils after their GCSEs. Every year the vast majority of pupils who have been at the school since the age of 13 choose to stay. At the same time, Lancing also attracts new pupils who are looking for a different Sixth Form experience. Sixth Form pupils receive extensive support in understanding their options for higher education and in preparing them for a life after Lancing. This tailored support for pupils in finding the right courses to suit their individual interest is evident in the variety and quality of pupil destinations.

A Level Results 2024

As the College concludes its 175th Celebrations the 2024 cohort of Sixth Form leavers can celebrate another year of excellent A Level results. 

All academic departments have performed well, and we have seen particularly good results in Economics, Psychology and Mathematics, the school’s most popular Sixth Form subjects. Notable statistics include:

  • 78% A* to B results
  • 18% A* results
  • 50% A*- A results
  • 17 students achieved a clean sweep of A’s and A*’s (13%) 

This is another year in which our students have been awarded excellent results and can look forward to starting their next phase with confidence. 

The national narrative and recent advice for students moving to university is to pursue subjects that truly interest them. This is without doubt a strong theme through the Sixth Form at Lancing and is once again evident when looking at the finer details of our leavers, their courses and destinations.
