Dear parents and guardians
I hope that you have enjoyed a glorious summer; some excellent time with your children – and that the return to school has gone happily.
This term is always such an exciting one in a school. It is the real powerhouse of the academic year and it brings with it the dynamism of a new community forming, new bonds being forged, new starts embraced. There’s such an overlap between the flutter of anxiety and the flutter of excitement and it is always wonderful to see old faces returning and new faces joining in September.
I hope that you enjoy the stories in the pages ahead. This summer has seen stellar A Level and GCSE results; Lancing students have gone on to take up their places at some of the best universities in the UK – and across the globe. Dr Crawford extends a welcome and we look at the developments and improvements taking place to the campus over the months ahead. From an Admissions perspective, we invite families to one of this term’s open mornings, and we give an insight into the various countries that we’ll be visiting and flying the Lancing flag in the term ahead.
These are exciting times and at a time when the news seems full of rather gloomy stories about Independent Education, Lancing is thriving, blessed with inspiring teachers and a strong and cohesive community of pupils. We very much look forward to your children joining us in the future, and hope you enjoy this glimpse into our present.
With all best wishes
Hilary Dugdale
Director of Admissions
