Hugh Dennis was “outnumbered” by young admirers when he officially opened Littlehampton Academy.
The comedian, who plays hapless dad Pete in the hit BBC comedy, and who lives in Chichester, met students yesterday.
Dennis is also known from his radio work and Mock the Week.
Sarah Hopkins, community liaison manager for the school which has existed since September, said: “We were delighted that he agreed to go to the ceremony and give a speech.
“Senior bishops and the mayor of Littlehampton attended – we are very proud of the school.”
