Lancing College is a co-educational boarding and day school for 13 to 18 year olds. Our pupils come to Lancing from across the South East, from London and from around the world. They become part of a caring community with stretching horizons and ambitious goals. We build on pupils’ strengths and ensure every child achieves their full potential.

Senior School

The Senior School years are a very important time for young people; often coming from smaller schools, they need to adjust to a new environment while at the same time preparing for the move up to the Sixth Form. This is a time when education, discovery and growing up can be both inspiring, energising and also, at times, challenging.

We aim to work in partnership with parents to ensure that this process is tailored to the needs of individual pupils, to encourage them to perform to their best whether inside or outside the classroom and to support them as they grow up, learning to live and thrive in the Lancing community.

A specially designed programme for new pupils ensures that girls and boys settle into school as fast as possible, and quickly feel at home amongst friends. Whether joining as a day or boarding pupil, this programme is something the whole school gets involved in during the first few weeks of September, bringing together Houses to provide a warm welcome from the whole school.

Sixth Form

Why Choose Lancing College Sixth Form?

The Sixth Form at Lancing provides an amazing two year experience for pupils moving up from the Senior School or joining us from another school. This is a highly personalised journey, with tutors and specialists working with pupils to ensure academic excellence and to prepare them to enter the next stage of their lives as independent, confident and self-aware young adults.

UCAS preparation starts in the Lower Sixth and continues with increasingly-tailored support as important choices are made, and exams taken. The College’s excellent academic results are achieved within an environment where pupils also take part in a wide range of co-curricular activities.

Sixth Form enrichment is extensive, with dedicated Oxbridge support, specialist career groups, Head Master’s lectures and a wide range of societies.

Pupils also benefit from a Leaving Lancing programme, designed in consultation with pupils to enhance self-sufficiency and confidence.

In the Sixth Form pupils are increasingly introduced to the wider Lancing community of former pupils, staff and parents, with its rich base of knowledge, advice and contacts.
