Davison High School is a girls' Church of England secondary school serving pupils aged 11 to 16 in Worthing, West Sussex, England. In its last inspection the school was judged by OFSTED as Good. The school accommodates around 1080 girls[1] across five year groups.

The original Davison School was a girls' school, opened on Chapel Road in 1812 and named after the Reverend William Davison, the first chaplain of St Paul's Church, Worthing. The school moved to its current site off Selborne Road in 1960.[2] The culverted Teville Stream flows under the school's playing fields.

Now, the school takes in year seven classes, unlike 3 years ago, when the number of year sevens joining each year was about 30.

The school is the home of the Davison Worthing Youth Concert Band which gives opportunities to any age or ability to join.
