PASTORAL CARE At Lewes Old Grammar School we all feel that academic success is inextricably linked with good pastoral care. Our pastoral care ensures that all children and young people feel emotionally and socially secure. We encourage pupils to accept responsibility for their learning and their behaviour. We enable our pupils to gain the skills necessary to deal successfully with relationships, manage powerful emotions, recover from setbacks and recognise and accept other people’s feelings. Using these skills our pupils are able to reach their academic potential and thrive in a working environment whilst enjoying life to the full. Parents and visitors to the school regularly comment on the “family feel” of the school. This friendly atmosphere, although not unique to us, is something that we pride ourselves on and consider to be a real strength of the school.

PROSPECTUS At Lewes Old Grammar School, we are always happy to welcome prospective pupils with their parents to make an exploratory visit and to meet the Headmaster. A visit gives both the parents and the prospective pupil a chance to see the school in action, and to discuss any issues relating to school life. We request that pupils above Year 2 sit entry assessments as part of our admissions procedures. However, our school is not an examination factory selecting only the most academic. The purpose of the entry assessments is to enable us to gauge the prospective student’s current academic standards, and, perhaps more importantly, to try to assess their academic potential. We select pupils who we think will benefit from attending our school, and who will enjoy studying our curriculum whatever their background We'll assume you are ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish.Accept Read More
