Against the Odds …

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

Sport fixtures were replaced by inter-year group competitions and specialised training. The Football COVID Cup involved over 300 participants every Saturday.

In the recorded version of the Advent Concert, pupils from all year groups performed nine different pieces

The Choir continued to rehearse and perform in ‘House pairs’

Audiences from across the world attended the Head Master’s Lectures

Ensembles have rehearsed in year group bubbles and Lunchtime Concerts have continued

The Co-curricular programme continued throughout the term with over 100 Co-curricular activities. New online activities such as Film Club, eSports and Exploring the Arts were added to the more traditional programme of events.
