Steyning Grammar School

Steyning Grammar School is a school in Steyning with locations on Church Street and Shooting Field that serves students from years 7 through 13. The campus spreads across multiple sites to accommodate education and daily activities for all its pupils.

The school was founded in 1614 by William Holland, an Alderman from Chichester, and initially served the local community's education needs. It merged with Steyning Secondary Modern School in 1968 to form its present structure.

The school serves as a social hub in town where students from different countries live and study together. This international mix shapes daily school life and friendships that form across borders.

Education is free here, while boarding services require separate payment, keeping it accessible for many families. The facility spreads across multiple locations, so planning which site to visit ahead is helpful.

It is the only state-funded boarding school in Sussex, housing students who travel from beyond the region. This rare status makes it an unusual offering in the English education system.
