Lancing College Prep Hove
Lancing College Prep Hove is an independent day school for boys and girls aged 3 to 13. The school is part of a foundation with senior school Lancing College.
- Lancing College Prep Hove is a coed pre-prep and prep day school.
- The school welcomes approximately 300 pupils with boys and girls aged from 3 to 13 years.
- Lancing College Prep Hove is located at Hove in East Sussex.
The school is located in about seven acres in the heart of Hove and about eight miles from Lancing College. The children are encouraged to 'be brave, to push themselves to be the best they can, and not to be afraid of making mistakes in pursuit of learning'.
Head Mistress Kirsty Keep explains that 'central to our ethos is the idea that all pupils have at least one area in which they can excel, and to that end we place great importance on the teaching of Art, Drama, Music and Sport alongside those subjects you would expect to find in the National Curriculum.'
'Whilst we are proud of our traditions, we are also a forward-thinking school, looking to build upon our past successes to achieve even greater heights in the future. By the time our pupils leave, they will have acquired a confidence and a self-belief, together with a set of values that will remain with them throughout their lives.'
