St Andrew's CE High School, situated in Worthing, West Sussex, was established in 1897, making it an historic institution with rich heritage. The school's core values are encapsulated in its motto "Nihil Sine Labore" ("Nothing Without Labour"). Implementing a voluntary aided educative model, St Andrew's serves a mixed student body between the ages of 11 and 16.

The school is known for its nurturing and highly inclusive environment, where kindness is emphasized. In 2023, Ofsted found the educational quality at St Andrew's to be good. The school's houses feature the colors blue and black, and the 854 enrolled students enjoy a well-rounded education, as demonstrated by the school championing The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and previously holding cricket and rugby championship titles.

Significant funding has recently been allocated toward renovation and modernization efforts. The school's leadership team, headed by Headteacher Mia Lowney, strives towards an aspiration for all students to succeed, guided by St Andrew's deeply rooted Christian ethos.
