Experience Day brings Prospective Pupils to Lancing

We recently welcomed over 115 students to the College for the Experience Day for entry to Lancing in 2025. This was the largest ever number of applicants attending the day, with students coming from schools across Sussex, Surrey, London and beyond. The students, aged between 9 and 10 years, enjoyed a day packed with activities and had the opportunity to get a sense of what life at the College is like 

The College organises an ‘Experience Day’ every year as part of the Advance (Pre-test) Programme offered to pupils in Year 6.

The programme has been designed as an early entry route for pupils to gain a place at Lancing in the Third Form. It has been incredibly popular, with applications exceeding expectations and positive feedback received from parents. We have seen – and expect to continue to see – increased demand for entry via this route for pupils based in the UK.

The Experience Day allows us to get to know prospective pupils and identify their strengths, whilst also offering them an opportunity to see the school and to meet some of the Lancing teachers and other fellow students.

I was very impressed with your Experience Day. My son was warmly received in the morning and then departed with a big smile on his face having had an enjoyable day.
