Introduction

At Lancing College, pupils study a wide variety of subjects, including English, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, Religious Studies, French, Spanish, German, Latin, PE and PSHE.
The co-curricular activities include the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and the popular Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
The school’s entire community is underpinned by the motto Beati Mundo Corde (Blessed are the pure in heart) and is characterised by a love of learning and a desire for excellence which enables pupils’ growth into young men and women of vision and integrity, ready to make their mark in the adult world.

Lancing College Advance Programme 13 Plus (13+) Admissions
The Lancing Advance Programme is uniquely designed to allow the school to identify those with the greatest potential to excel at Lancing College. The deadline for registration for the Advance Programme is in October of Year 6.
Upon completing and submitting the Lancing College registration form and fee together with the Lancing Advance Programme application form, your child will be registered for the entrance examination.
Lancing College will then review the results of the examination, as well as the reference received from your child’s prep school Head. Soon after, you will be contacted about attending an experience day at the College in January.
The Advance Programme experience day is designed to enable your child to engage in a range of individual and group activities with other boys and girls hoping to come to Lancing.
In this way, their particular talents and strengths will become apparent. There will also be an interview, which will help the school staff become more acquainted with your child’s interests and hobbies. Offers of places are sent out in February.
Lancing College Advance Programme 13 Plus (13+) Scholarships and Bursaries
Academic scholarships for Advanced Programme applicants are awarded on the basis of the results in the Common Academic Scholarship examination (in February). You may apply for a maximum of two scholarships, but your child will benefit from only one of the two. The maximum fee remission is 5-10%. Lancing Scholarships are subject to an annual review which takes place at the end of the school year.
Bursaries at Lancing are strictly means-tested and require that you submit detailed financial information to be assessed by the College. The value of all awards may be enhanced/decreased in accordance with your financial circumstances, which are reviewed annually.
Note that entrance awards are applied on the basis of potential rather than on current achievement. If you wish to apply for additional financial support, you should do this at the same time as applying for the scholarship. Otherwise, any bursary funding will be restricted.
For more information, please reach out to Admissions on +44 (0)1273 465805.
