About schools in Lancing

The eight schools listed in Lancing span more than one stage of education. One school here provides for children with additional needs. It also has two independent schools, which sit outside the state system and set their own admissions.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find each primary school's key stage 2 scores. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
