Boundstone Community College was a co-educational comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 18, with around 1000 students, including over 100 in the Sixth Form, which served the communities of Lancing and Sompting. The school closed on 31 August 2009, being replaced by The Sir Robert Woodard Academy. Lancing Senior Mixed Council School opened in Irene Avenue, Lancing in 1935, in the buildings currently occupied by The Globe Primary School. The original site was intended to accommodate up to 360 students between the ages of 11 and 14. It was relocated to its current site on Boundstone Lane in 1960 where it became Lancing Secondary Modern School. Students wishing to attend grammar school travelled to either Worthing or Shoreham. In 1975, West Sussex County Council reorganised provision in the area to provide comprehensive education. Boundstone became a comprehensive Upper school for students aged 12 and over, while younger students stayed at primary middle schools until this age. In 2008, this change was reverted, and Boundstone once again became a full secondary school for students aged 11 to 18.
