Why Lancing feels right

Three things I already love, and where they could go next.

Not a list of everything Lancing offers. Three real connections between what I do now and what I would do there.

Connection one

Reading and writing

What I enjoy now
Awaiting Alexa

Something specific she enjoys about English, drawn from the Learning section.

At Lancing
Lancing teaches A level English Literature, and the English department runs creative writing classes, poetry and essay competitions, reading groups, and theatre trips to the Globe, Chichester Festival Theatre and the National Theatre.

Everything said here about Lancing comes from the College's own website, checked in September 2026. This page is my own introduction and not a Lancing College publication.

My next chapter

What I would bring.

A short close that links real examples from this page to how I hope to take part in school life. Every line here needs a real example behind it.

In my own words
