South Tarring sounds better but if your in the pub with mates call it East Durrington.

I work in Durrington, firstly on the Causeway, now in Yeomans Way in Goring. I wouldn't in a million years live on any of the streets I drive through, nor send my child to the school at the top of the Causeway diagonally opposite the Registry office... Can't comment on any of the side streets though...

there is some very nice fanny in lloyds is there not

That would be Durrington High School and it is supposed to be highly rated.

Really? The state of the kids walking along the road there to school is attrocious. Their road sense is non existent, and the parents parking along there are brain dead. I've taken all those things as a sign of the school. Glad to be proven wrong, I hope.

I went to DHS when the new headmistress came in, and whilst the calibre of the students might not have improved, the school as a whole has!!

DHS wasn't my first choice, as all my mates were going to the now detiriorating Worthing High, which is likely to become the middle school and swap with TAB in a few years, so as to get up to standard with the rest of the country in terms of when students move to high school ie after year 6 kids move to high school whereas in worthing they stayed at middle till year 7. Therefore what is curently TAB middle will be worthing high and vice versa.........for those who care!!!

I would suggest that I have lived in Worthing for many more years than you even taking into account having pubs.

It's changed since the 50's though BG

That is why I asked what area is now known as North Goring. Is it up past David Lloyds or what was Goring Green Estate the continuation of The Strand in Maybridge towards Goring station.

Unfortunately, tede, that means that you will be struggling to find a school pretty much anywhere in the UK - and that includes going private.

I went into Durrington High School every Friday morning for a term and was amazed at the standard of teaching and the standards demanded by the school. It's 10x better than 'in my day' at Falmer School. The vast majority of kids are good kids and there are systems to try and deal with the - ahem - rougher diamonds.

What's it like over there nowadays? Looking at a house today in Durrington.

Can't afford where we are but there are options in Worthing in our budget.

The part of west Worthing near the seafront seems ok . At least you have a beach , , plenty of period type housing and it doesn’t feel like a suburb of Brighton .

Indeed. Some of the single mums are probably grandparents by now.

The estate opposite the big Tesco used to have a bit of a reputation.
