The Head Master, Mr Dominic Oliver, comments:
“As the new Head Master at Lancing College there could be no better welcome than these A Level results. Our students have excelled in academic subjects across the board and I congratulate them wholeheartedly.
These results are the culmination of years of hard work both from the students themselves and a dedicated Lancing teaching staff whose expertise, dedication and enthusiasm brings out the best in every member of our community. The ethos here is to encourage a spirit of learning and self-discovery in every sphere and the grades we celebrate today are the happy culmination of a rich all-round pattern of achievement.
