The Towers, a Roman Catholic boarding and day school for girls 3-16 years and boys 3-8 years, in the healthy and beautiful setting of the South Downs, is run by a Community of Sisters. At the heart of The Towers Community is Christian love; we aim to celebrate the dignity of each individual pupil and all people of whatever race, colour, creed or status, are welcome and have equal worth and opportunity. Our motto 'Always Faithful' upholds the qualities of honesty and trust, responsibility, self-discipline, and forgiveness. Pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential in everything they do, developing a love of learning and seeking wholeness. Classes are small and well disciplined. Pupils study the National Curriculum enhanced by opportunities to study an extra modern foreign language and drama. Technology and Science are a particular strength and pupils with special aptitudes may be accelerated to take an early GCSE in Year 10 and the three sciences in Year 11. The school has twice won the Whitbread Prize for GCSE results. In 1997 the overall pass percentage A-C grades was 83.3%. Tennis and netball teams are highly successful; the school has won the Sussex Shield five times in the past nine years, and has recently been awarded the 'Sportsmark' for its achievements in PE. The public and choral speakers regularly bring home prizes and there is a fine tradition of drama with the annual production of a major musical. The school enjoys good links with a variety of local Sixth Forms catering for both boarders and day pupils. Minibuses run from Worthing and Storrington. The Nursery is part of the West Sussex Early Years Development Plan and certificates are accepted. At The Towers you will find enjoyment and fulfilment at affordable fees!
