What the school says...

Formerly Broadwater Manor School, Lancing Prep Worthing joined the Lancing College family of schools in 2014 and our pupils regularly share the wonderful sporting facilities, and cultural and learning opportunities that the College offers on its magnificent campus some six miles away.

Our broad and balanced curriculum is enriched with high quality creative and physical activities to provide a vibrant learning environment. In working and playing together, our pupils develop a sense of service to each other, and the world beyond the school gates, which will characterise their future lives.

We aims to provide every child in our care with an excellent all-round education. We have small classes, dedicated teachers and outstanding pastoral care. In the classroom children flourish; they are able to achieve their potential in an enriching and very positive environment. We have high expectations and nurtures a love of learning which we hope will last a lifetime.
