Details

Bohunt School Worthing is a secondary school with academy status located in Worthing, West Sussex. It officially opened on 1 September 2015 taking pupils initially aged 11 and 12 (in curriculum years 7 and 8), expanding to become a full 11-16 secondary school by 2018. The school was opened as part of the change of age of transfer arrangements in Worthing which saw an end to three-tier education in the town which had been in place since 1973. The school is sponsored by the Bohunt Education Trust, led by Bohunt School in Liphook, Hampshire.HistoryThe school was proposed in 2013 as part of the local authority's plans to reorganise education in Worthing to remove the three-tier structure of first, middle and high schools, following the award of £13 million in funding to provide additional secondary school places in the town. Proposals were invited for a sponsor to open a new school, with five being received. Durrington High School was originally selected as the school's sponsor in partnership with Northbrook College, The Livingstone Foundation Trust and the University of Brighton. However, the school later withdrew its support for the proposals, citing concerns about the funding and the site of the school.In September 2014 the Bohunt Education Trust was selected as the replacement sponsor for the new school. However, in December 2014 it too raised concerns about the site of the school, and indicated that it might pull out of the proposed school. The trust appointed a headteacher to the new school in October 2014, with initial building work beginning in the following February 2015. The new building is due to open in 2016, with the school using a temporary structure in the interim following opening in September 2015. The school will open with approximately 50% of its intended places taken up at around 190 students in the first year.
