Davison High School is a girls' Church of England secondary school serving pupils aged 11 to 16 in Worthing, West Sussex. The school accommodates around 1080 girls^[1] across five 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.^[2] The culverted Teville Stream flows under the school's playing fields.

A small group of 30 pupils is accepted to the school in Year 7 from the primary schools in the Adur district, with the bulk of the intake coming from the three-tier provision in Worthing into Year 8.

The school is also the home of the Davison Worthing Youth Concert Band which plays hundreds of pieces^{[citation needed]} and gives opportunities to any age or ability to join.
