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.
Founded in 1837, Windlesham House is proud to be the oldest preparatory school in the UK and one of the country’s leading independent schools. Set within a stunning 65-acre estate on the South Downs, we combine a rich heritage with a forward-thinking approach to education.
We’ve always been pioneers:
✔ First prep school to go co-educational (1967)
✔ A long-standing policy of no school uniform, creating a relaxed, home-from-home environment
✔ Flexible boarding options to meet the needs of modern families
Our ethos is simple: to provide an inspiring, nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, socially and personally. Whether boarding or day pupils, children benefit from the unique experiences and opportunities that define life at Windlesham House.
Windlesham House is part of the Charterhouse family of schools.
