Lancing College is situated on the South Downs, near Brighton and Hove, in several hundred acres of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has a reputation for academic excellence in all subjects and a strong performance in value-added terms. There are 600 students in the school, which was founded in 1848 by the forward thinking Revd Nathaniel Woodard, whose aim was to provide a good and complete education… of sound principle and sound knowledge, firmly grounded in the Christian faith. Lancing is an ideal size: big enough to offer a diverse range of opportunities; small enough for everybody to be known and appreciated.

One of the UK's leading independent, co-educational day and boarding schools, Bishop’s Stortford College is a wonderful place of learning in a beautiful setting on the edge of a market town between London and Cambridge. It is a place large enough to provide an exceptional range of opportunities, yet small enough for each child to be known and valued. Our love of life and learning enables pupils to grow into well-rounded, skilful, caring and confident people, equipped and ready for the adventures and opportunities life has to offer.
