Shoreham College

From Little Lions through the senior years, Shoreham College keeps early years, juniors and seniors within one community up to age 16. Its mixed-ability approach uses small classes and specialist teachers to shape support and challenge around individual pupils, giving the all-through structure a practical rather than merely administrative character.

The academic programme broadly follows the National Curriculum but extends into sciences, languages, humanities, creative subjects, computing and design technology. GCSE and Level 1/2 choices include business, hospitality and catering, and photography. Challenge Grade Reporting communicates progress each half-term, while thinking skills and independent learning run through the wider programme.

Sport, music, drama, coding, debating, photography, STEM, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and Leadership and Skills all sit beyond ordinary lessons. Younger pupils use the on-site forest school for woodland activities, cooking and exploration. Those experiences are intended to build confidence, independence and resilience alongside academic work.

Admissions begin with an initial appointment. Applicants provide recent school reports and attend a morning taster or full-day session. Pupils entering Year 5 or above take one or more aptitude assessments, which are not used to decide whether an offer is made. Offers depend on availability and references. Scholarships and a fee structure including lunch, textbooks and most co-curricular provision are also part of the entry picture.
