The Angmering School is a co-educational school based in West Sussex for students aged 11-18. It is a non-denominational school.
One of the school’s unique features is the fact it provides the opportunity for students to study more than one language. Students will also follow a “Futures” course which aims to develop attributes and skills for learning through real world challenges, such as running a cafe or fundraising for charity.

“This is an improving school. Students achieve well, gaining better-than-average GCSE results. Results have gone up considerably since the last inspection, particularly in English. Teaching is good with some outstanding practice. Teachers are enthusiastic and have good subject knowledge. Their strengths include their good use of questioning to check students’ progress.”
