Sheringham High School is a secondary school and sixth form located in the town of Sheringham in the English county of Norfolk. The school has around 700 students, usually including between 160 and 180 in the sixth form centre.[1][2] It shares a campus with Sheringham Primary School and Sheringham Woodfields School. The headteacher is Dawn Hollidge.[1]
History
The school takes students from primary schools in Sheringham, Kelling and Holt. It has a specialism in the arts, and is a member of the Microsoft IT Academy programme.[3]
On 1 November 2011 the school became an academy.[4]
Curriculum
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'.[5] The school has to decide whether Key Stage 3 contains years 7, 8 and 9, or whether year 9 should be in Key Stage 4 and the students in that year just study subjects that will be examined by the GCSE exams at 16. Sheringham had decided to take the latter approach.[6] Script error: No such module "anchor". The timetable is planned a 50 period fortnight. Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
