In 1968, it merged with Steyning Secondary Modern School to form the current comprehensive school. The combined school shares two sites in Steyning. The original half-timbered Church Street site housed years 7 and 8 until the end of the 2021-22 academic year after which this age group (‘Lower School’) transferred to the Towers site in nearby Upper Beeding. The main Shooting Field site houses years 9-11 and the sixth form college. A third lower school site opened in Storrington in September 2017 following the closure of Rydon Community College. Some Physical education lessons are taught at Steyning Leisure Centre.On 11 March 2020, after only two one-hour meetings open to the community, school governors voted to convert the 400-year-old school to an academy as part of the Bohunt Trust. A teaching union warned that the school has \u201cnothing to gain and everything to lose\u201d and there was talk of strike action after the plans were announced.[2] Converting Steyning Grammar School into an academy “would give Bohunt complete control over its curriculum and the hiring of teachers”.[2]Bohunt Education Trust runs eight schools in total, including secondary schools in Worthing and Horsham.In December 2021 a viral report of a “bleak” Christmas dinner composed of “a mince pie, dry bread roll, slice of turkey, single pig in blanket, and a tiny square of stuffing” went viral, reports indicating the school apologised and the \u00a33.50 cost of the meal was refunded.[3]Notable alumni[edit]Greg Barker, Conservative MP for Bexhill and BattleSir Tom Blundell, head of biochemistry at the University of Cambridge[4]Bernard Holden MBE, President of the Bluebell Railway and pioneer in railway preservationAdam Stephen Kelly, award-winning film writer, director and producerRalph Lainson OBE, parasitologistPeter Marshall, author and anarchistGeoffrey Munn OBE, MVO.
