"Good but not perfect"

Our son attended Lancing from Year 7 to Year 13 and had a generally positive experience. The school's focus on individuality and its commitment to preparing students for university were both strengths. However, we did feel that the school could have been more proactive in supporting students with mental health issues. Overall, we would recommend Lancing to other families.
