Why Lancing Prep Hove?<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Subtitle” module_class=”subtitle” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Parents choose Lancing Prep at Hove for the warmth, care and close\u2011knit community that shape our ethos and make our school feel like a family.<\/p>\n

We want every child at Lancing Prep Hove to feel inspired – to aim high, to think for themselves and to discover the joy that comes from being creative and curious. Our aim is to nurture children who believe in their own abilities and feel confident exploring new ideas. We encourage every pupil to uncover their strengths and to achieve their very best, academically and personally. While strong academic progress matters, we care just as deeply about who our pupils become.<\/p>\n

\n

More than anything, we want the years your child spends with us to be happy, rich in experiences and full of moments that help shape who they are. When they leave Lancing Prep Hove, we hope they step forward with a sense of pride, self-belief and excitement for what comes next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pupils\u2019 academic achievement is high<\/h2>\n

Our pupils\u2019 academic achievement is high; they consistently gain places at their first choice of senior school. Many do so with academic scholarship and exhibition awards.<\/p>\n

Attending Lancing Prep Hove is an excellent pathway to joining Lancing College and around 75 per cent of our Year 8 leavers regularly do so. We do acknowledge that, for our parents, this is a choice and we engage actively with parents at an early stage to discuss the best options for each individual child in next step in their education.<\/p>\n

Excellent opportunities outside the classroom<\/h2>\n

There is no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 mantra and therefore no \u2018typical\u2019 Lancing Prep Hove girl or boy.<\/p>\n

We encourage all our pupils to experience a wide range of enrichment activities, including sport, music, drama and community service.<\/p>\n

We give our girls and boys every opportunity to pursue those interests, inside and outside the classroom, and celebrate with them their achievements and successes.<\/p>\n

A warm and friendly community<\/h2>\n

For many parents, it is the family feel of Lancing Prep Hove that sets it apart. The sound of laughter is never far away.<\/p>\n

In our safe, welcoming and caring school environment, each pupil feels valued and supported as an individual and, in turn, learns the importance of tolerance and consideration towards others.<\/p>\n

Our pupils understand the importance of their contribution to our school community, and to the wider community beyond our school gates.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s citizens today<\/h2>\n

We seek to work collaboratively with parents, as together we guide our children in their journey from childhood towards young adulthood.<\/p>\n

This journey starts with our youngest girls and boys starting to learn about the world around them and progresses throughout their time with us, culminating in the Lancing Enhanced Activities Programme for our Year 8 pupils.<\/p>\n

We give our children a thorough grounding in life skills and challenge them to provoke thought, questions and debate, so that they continually broaden their horizons as they grow through the school.<\/p>\n
