We are delighted to welcome new pupils into Year 7 at the start of their senior education. We offer a number of scholarships to children at the age of 11 for entry into Year 7. Prospective parents looking at September 2027 entry are advised to register their interest for 11+ places and scholarships as early as possible as both are limited. More information on scholarships is detailed below.<\/p>\n
If you are still looking for a place in 2026, please contact our Registrar, Mrs Catherine Fauvel, who will be able to advise on availability and the application process.<\/p>\n
If you are interested in applying for Year 7 entry in September 2027 please contact our Registrar, Mrs Catherine Fauvel, who will be able to assist with the application process. Children will then be invited to our taster morning and assessment days in November. Late entries may be considered.<\/p>\n
Please download our standard\u00a0Registration Form<\/a><\/p>\n To progress an application, parents will need to pay the non-refundable registration fee of \u00a390 (unless already registered and paid) – details of how to pay are shown on the Registration Form –\u00a0and to complete and return the forms, either by post or sent via email to\u00a0LPWAdmissions@lancing.org.uk. If you are applying for a Scholarship, please state which one in the email.<\/p>\n At Lancing Prep Worthing, we believe that every child can and should, \u2018Love Learning, Be Kind and Go out into the World and Do Good\u2019. Using these aims as a framework for life leads to future success and happiness.<\/p>\n We offer Scholarships to passionate and gifted pupils, to allow them to flourish in our community. Internal and external pupils will be considered for the following Scholarships: Academic, Art, Drama, Music and the \u2018Love Learning All Rounder Award’ for pupils demonstrating excellence in more than one area of the curriculum.<\/p>\n Our Scholarships are assessed in Year 6 and applied for entry in Year 7 (11+).<\/p>\n To view our Scholarship booklet,\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Internal applications will be considered separately, and as such their candidature will be assessed on performance, excellence, potential, and current contribution to our community.\u00a0\u00a0All Year 6 pupils will automatically be entered for possible Scholarships. The most recent school report and recommendations from Heads of Department will be considered.\u00a0All Scholarships are honorary, and the award\u00a0of a scholarship does not in itself represent\u00a0a reduction in fees. Parents of those children who are awarded scholarships are invited to apply for a means-tested bursary and will be required to complete a\u00a0Statement of Financial Circumstances Form<\/em>\u00a0which will be taken into\u00a0consideration. Depending upon circumstances, a bursary may be offered of up to 50 per cent remission of fees. It is important to understand that any scholarship or bursary awarded does not automatically roll on to the senior school. The demand for large bursaries at that stage is high and the process is thus competitive.<\/p>\n To register your interest in Scholarships at Lancing Prep Worthing for 2027 entry, please contact our Registrar, Mrs Fauvel, on 01903 201 123 or email worthing@lancing.org.uk<\/a>\u00a0clearly stating which Scholarship you wish to apply for.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/IMG_5759_0.jpg” title_text=”IMG_5759_0″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n An academic Scholar at Lancing Prep Worthing is a pupil who is passionate and gifted.\u00a0\u00a0The application process is designed to ensure that the Scholars chosen will greatly enhance the academic life of our school and embody our school aims of love learning, be kind, and go out into the world to do good.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the assessment day, pupils will sit papers in English (30 mins) and Maths (30 mins), and they will also be required to sit GL CAT4 tests (verbal, non-verbal, spatial, and quantitative).\u00a0<\/p>\n Should your child require special access arrangements, please ensure that details are provided upon registration.\u00a0<\/p>\n At Lancing Prep Worthing, we work with children\u2019s academic capabilities, passions and talents rather than pushing them into a box labelled \u2018attainment\u2019. For this reason, all candidates will also have an interview with our Head. This will be a relaxed conversation, not an examination.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I have most definitely benefitted from my time at LPW. The school has given me a solid foundation for my future. I feel I have become more independent and adventurous, developed a strong work ethic, and increased my confidence. For me, being a Scholar is about loving your learning. It’s about always achieving your best and pushing yourself to improve.<\/p>\n B.

We value individuality, creativity, skill, and passion; this department offers a vibrant art space, specialist teaching and access to a wide variety of artistic experiences.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Scholarships will be offered to candidates whom we feel will make an outstanding contribution to our community and demonstrate potential for advanced study.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n On the assessment day, pupils will have the opportunity to share recent artwork and have time to discuss this with our Head of Art.\u00a0Portfolios should consist of 4 or 5 pieces of recently created artwork, displaying a range of themes and mediums.\u00a0<\/p>\n They will also have an interview with our Head where they can share their passion and interest in Art.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Being a Scholar has really helped develop my sense of independence and resilience. The teachers encouraged me to try new things and tackle things independently whilst still supporting and guiding me throughout.

We sing together as a community in celebration, and pupils receive specialist teaching within curriculum lessons. Our pupils play a wide variety of instruments, which are supported through outstanding peripatetic teaching. In this rich musical environment, Scholarships are offered to pupils who demonstrate enthusiasm and commitment to the musical life of our school. They would be expected to perform in concerts,\u00a0soir\u00e9es\u00a0and as part of the ensembles and orchestra.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n On the assessment day, candidates will meet with our Head of Music to discuss their interests and experiences with their chosen instrument.\u00a0<\/p>\n All pupils will be asked to perform two contrasting pieces or songs on one or two instruments. These should be pieces they know well and feel confident to perform. They will be asked some questions related to their chosen material and will have a short aural and sight-reading test. Both their musicianship and potential will be considered. We recommend that pupils are playing at a minimum of grade 2, although grade 3 or above would be preferred. \u00a0<\/p>\n An interview with our Head will allow each candidate to share their enthusiasm for Music and their hopes for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I remember lots of things about LPW, but something that really stood out was how welcoming the community was. When I first joined, I immediately felt like I belonged, and coming straight into Year 6 from homeschooling really helped me integrate into the school\u2026 I think that LPW ingrains its core values into the minds of every pupil who studies there.\u00a0<\/p>\n A.

However, we actively encourage applicants who exhibit all round sporting talent and perhaps specialise in additional sports to those played at Lancing Prep Worthing.<\/p>\n On the assessment day, candidates will take part in several different sporting activities, followed by a discussion with the Director of Sport.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Being a Sports Scholar gave me the passion and drive to excel in all my subjects and build strong foundations upon them, as well as achieving higher levels in sport. \u00a0Being a Sports Scholar means having more responsibility in fixtures, and that others will look up to you for assistance.

If you love to act, sing, and dance you will find the assessment day at LPW a lot of fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the assessment day, candidates will take part in workshops led by our Heads of Drama and Music and will have the opportunity to perform a short monologue, song and\/or dance (no more than 1 minute each).\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n LPW was amazing at preparing me for my scholarship; not only did we have an incredible LAMDA teacher, all of my teachers played a massive role in getting me there by taking time out of their busy days just to help me one-on-one.
