Education
Littlehampton has one secondary school, The Littlehampton Academy, which opened in 2009, replacing the Littlehampton Community School.
For younger children there are three primary schools — Lyminster, River Beach and White Meadows. These schools came into existence in 2011 following a major reorganisation of primary school provision in the town that replaced 6 separate junior and infant schools with 3 primary schools. River Beach Primary was formed from the merging of Connaught Junior with Arun Vale and Elm Grove Infants, whilst the merger of Flora McDonald Junior and Wickbourne Infants brought about the creation of White Meadows. Lyminster existed before the reorganisation as an infant school, and has now begun a phased expansion to become a primary school.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
