Situation

Storrington is a thriving large village in a picturesque setting at the foot of the South Downs, conveniently close to the Horsham/Worthing A24 and motorway networks, yet it still retains a village atmosphere. There is a mainline station in Pulborough, approximately five miles to the west. Storrington has comprehensive shopping facilities including a Waitrose store, restaurants, cafes including Costa, two pubs and there are primary schools and years seven and eight of Steyning Grammar School, churches, a bank, a modern doctors' surgery, dental practices, opticians, two veterinary practices, library and a museum. Our local schools belong to a cluster group called stars (Storrington Area Rural Schools) and, between them, offer a choice of paths from Reception through to Year 13. Steyning Grammar School is included in the list of stars and is a popular choice as it¿s non-selective and has its own Sixth Form. There are also a number of options for private schools. These include prep at Dorset House, Windlesham School, Lancing College, Seaford Collage and Farlington to name a few.
