Lancing College Preparatory School at Hove is situated on a superb 7-acre campus in the heart of Hove.
We aim to inspire a desire for excellence, to develop independent, searching minds and to foster creativity. We encourage the children entrusted to us to explore and achieve their potential, academically and creatively. Academia is rightly important to us but of equal importance is our pupils’ personal development.
While proud of our traditions, we are also a forward-thinking school, looking to build upon our past successes to achieve even greater heights in the future. By the time our pupils leave, they will have acquired a confidence and a self-belief, together with a set of values that will remain with them throughout their lives.
Our pupils are taught by our fully qualified staff of 30 in our wonderful facilities, inside and out. A new school hall and library space opened in 2017, with the relocation of our much improved Pre-School within the heart of the Pre-Prep and new Music School with practice rooms and classroom/performance space in 2019. We have a fully equipped science laboratory and art, design and technology room, along with our IT and Computing Innovation Hub, completed in Autumn 2024. Outside, our leafy grounds include an adventure playground, school garden, science garden, forest school area, two grass fields and a brand new, extended floodlit all-weather Games Area was completed in 2023. Sports include: cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders, rugby and tennis. Co-ed sporting opportunities were introduced in 2022, with a termly co-ed tournament for visiting prep schools. Our pupils also access the extensive cultural and sporting facilities at Lancing College, where Years 7 and 8 also take part in the weekly language programme, learning Spanish or German, along with a carousel of co-curricular activities. Scholarships with means-tested bursaries are available for entry into Year 7.
