The Sir Robert Woodard Academy is a vibrant and creative school serving the communities of Lancing, Sompting and Shoreham. We provide a warm, friendly, and stimulating learning environment where our students are at the heart of all that we do.

At SRWA we are absolutely committed to ensuring that our young people reach their potential and we offer a broad curriculum to bring out the best in all of our students.

Our school motto is ‘Aspire to Achieve’ and we aim to engender in our students the qualities that will equip them for a fulfilled and successful life including: ambition, resilience, confidence, creativity and commitment. We hope that they will leave with a lifelong love of learning and a clear sense of achievement and purpose.

We are very proud of our dedicated, hardworking staff many of whom choose SRWA for their own children because they know we have all the benefits and facilities of a large school but through our chapter system maintain a family feel. We have high expectations of our students and likewise expect them to sign up to the ambition of the school and aim big for themselves.

We are delighted to have grown in popularity over the past three years and have seen a huge surge in first choice applications from local families, including unprecedented numbers from nearby Shoreham. We are excited about this new chapter and are very much looking forward to welcoming all new students to our academy.
