Why Lancing?
Lancing College has a reputation for traditional values and outstanding pastoral care, recently highlighted as a ‘Significant Strength’ in the Independent Schools Inspectorate’s 2023 report.
Children are part of a welcoming, fun and inclusive community. There are many opportunities where they are encouraged to try new things and grow as individuals.
Academic
Lancing College is a place of scholarship where pupils learn with integrity. Your child will be encouraged to be curious and to think for themselves, underpinned by the essential attributes of learning.
Lancing continues its record of winning places at elite universities and overseas destinations. All Oxbridge candidates successfully met their offers in 2023.
Boarding Life
Boarding Houses at Lancing are single-sex and span the five-year groups in the College. The Boarding House ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere is cherished. Lifelong friendships are formed and lives are positively influenced by peers and boarding staff.
Children can spend time with their age group whilst also having older peers to guide them.
Activities and Sports
Lancing is known for its all-round approach to education and each week time is set aside for pupils to participate in a wide range of extra activities.
These opportunities offer a wonderful chance for learning and personal development outside the academic syllabus. With over 120 activities and 30 sports on offer, pupils are encouraged to discover and develop new skills.
Day Pupil Life
Day pupils are also welcomed into the house structure, either within a boarding house or a dedicated day house. They are welcome to arrive for breakfast from 7.30am and can stay for supper, evening school (homework) and activities if they wish. We also have a termly ‘sleepover’ where day pupils are invited to stay the night and each house chooses an activity.
The warmth of the staff and teachers and the passion with which they teach; the feel and essence of Lancing college which is hard to put into words. It was the perfect school for my child and I felt very very reassured that he was going to be well looked after, which after his first year I can say that he was.’
