Welcome to Steyning Grammar School
Our Sixth Form is highly successful as a result of our excellent academic and pastoral provision.We offer a broad range of academic and applied pathways to support all students not just in their studies, but also in preparation for university, apprenticeships and employment.Being part of our Steyning Family means that you will be given an education that goes beyond the academic curriculum. Driven by our focus on Learning Character, our extensive enrichment and super curricular programme is just as important as our outstanding teaching and learning.As the only State Boarding School in Sussex we are also able to offer residential places for Sixth Form students.Aidan Timmons Headteacher
