The need to keep the whole Lancing community safe has challenged us all to work and behave differently. Teachers and pupils have had to re-imagine activities in the day-to-day rhythm of the school: undimmed creativity, open-mindedness and determination have been evident throughout.
The article below offers just a flavour of how the College has ensured an immensely full programme for all pupils this term.
We prepared over 30 pupils for Oxbridge and MMI
Over 45 parents, OLs and guests spoke to the Fifth & Sixth Forms about different career options
