Davison High School is a girls' Church of England secondary school serving pupils aged 12 to 16 in Worthing, West Sussex. The school accommodates around 1350[citation needed] girls across four year groups and was formed as an offshoot of St Andrews High School for Boys in the early 20th century with Mrs. E Azzaro as Headmistress. Mrs Della West now runs the school.

The original Davison School was a girls' school which opened in Chapel Road in 1815 and was named after the Reverend William Davison, the first chaplain of St Paul's Church in the town. The school moved to its current site off Selborne Road in 1960.[1]

The school is also the home of Davison Worthing Youth Concert Band who play hundreds of pieces and gives opputunities to any age or ability to join.
