Dominic Oliver, the Head Master, comments:
“Congratulations to our GCSE candidates on their hard work and splendid results in a wide range of subjects. These studies, complemented by the many opportunities beyond the curriculum that Lancing offers, represent an excellent foundation for their A Level years. It’s good to see that well over half of our results are graded A* or A. As ever we will have a hugely positive ‘added value’ score this year: Lancing brings out the very best in the young people in our care.”
