Joining our Day School

The West Sussex Local Authority control Year 7 admissions into the school according to their Admissions Policy. The school has a designated catchment area for the Year 7 intake from two localities – Chanctonbury Schools (Partridge Green, Henfield, Ashurst, Steyning and Upper Beeding) and STARS Schools (Amberley, Ashington, Storrington, Thakeham, Washington and West Chiltington).

Steyning Grammar School Catchment Area

We welcome children from outside the catchment area. This can be done through the normal school selection procedures for Year 7.

Our published admission number (PAN) in Year 7 is 210 on our Towers site and 150 for our Rock Road site in Storrington. From Year 9, our intake includes 15 boarders for which separate admission arrangements apply.

Joining in Year 8 – 11

Steyning Grammar School is its own admission authority. Applications for entry to Year 7 after the end of the routine admissions round (ending on 31^st August) and applications for entry into Year 8 to Year 11 (if available) at any time will be processed as in-year applications and must be submitted directly to the school. The online admissions form for this purpose can be found here: In year admissions form. This form should only be used for students joining after the beginning of year 7.

Contact Details
