What the school says...
Formerly Mowden School, Lancing Prep Hove joined the Lancing College family of schools in 2002, when it also became co-educational.
We aim to offer every child the opportunities to achieve their potential within a broad and varied curriculum. Whilst ensuring that each child achieves their very best academically, we believe there is much more to be found than academia alone.
