The School
Founded in 1848 by the Rev Nathaniel Woodard and the first of the Woodard schools. It has a splendid site on a spur of the South Downs overlooking the sea to the south and the Weald to the north. The superb grounds comprise about 550 acres and include the college farm. The main buildings – handsome examples of the collegiate style of architecture – are grouped roundn two main quadrangles. There have been many developments in recent years, including a new library, technology centre and a dance studio.
Primarily a Church of England school, but pupils of other Christian denominations are accepted. Girls have been admitted to the sixth form since 1971 and at 13 from 2000. The college has a magnificent chapel and a strong tradition of choral and orchestral music.
A large and well-qualified staff allows a staff: pupil ratio of about 1:8. A broad general education is provided. Music and art are an important part of the education of all pupils and there is also a strong drama department.
