“Pupils across the country have been the first to experience the new A Level reforms and we are extremely proud of the way in which our pupils have risen to the challenge.

“We have seen exceptional results from pupils who have been at Lancing since the age of 13, as well as those who joined us just for the Sixth Form.

“Our excellent exam results are a wonderful by-product of the profound and long-lasting scholarly rigour that is the foundation of all that we do.”
