Lewes Old Grammar School is down to the last handful of schools nationally to be named Co-ed School of the Year in the Independent School of the Year awards organised by Independent School Parent magazine.
Hundreds of schools from across the country entered the awards and the winners of each category will be announced at a glittering ceremony in London next month.
The aim of the awards is to highlight the excellence of the student experience in independent schools and LOGS beat off stiff competition from some of the most famous schools in the country.

Our students emerge from LOGS as responsible, well-rounded and caring individuals which says more about us than anything else – but it’s still nice to be noticed!”
