Slindon is a mostly rural village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England, containing a developed nucleus amid woodland. Much of Slindon's woodland belongs to the National Trust on the southern edge of the escarpment of the South Downs National Park. Slindon is centred 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of Chichester.
Within the village is situated two schools, Slindon Church of England Primary School, a state funded primary school for boys and girls aged 4-11, and Slindon College, an specialist independent day and boarding school for boys aged 8-18, which officially opened in 1972.
