}}Sir John Leman High School is a coeducational 11–18 secondary school with academy status serving part of the Waveney region in north Suffolk, England. The school is located on the western edge of the town of Beccles and serves the surrounding area, including Worlingham. Pupils from Norfolk villages such as Gillingham also sometimes attend the school. The school has approximately 1,400 pupils, including a sixth form of around 260 students.[1]

History

Sir John Leman High School was established in 1631, and it has been on its present site for 100 years. The old school has been converted into the Beccles Museum. The school was established when Sir John Leman left money after his death to educate 44 pupils from Beccles, two from Ringsfield and two from Gillingham. In 1914 it became the County Mixed Grammar School on its present site in Ringsfield Road. In 1971 the school became a comprehensive high school and grew in size. In recent years building work has gone on to expand the school.

Until September 2012 the school only took 13- to 18-year-olds. Due to the reorganisation of schools in Suffolk it now takes 11- to 18-year-olds. Year 7 and 8 temporarily went to the Lower School site on Castle Hill. This was previously the Beccles Middle School site. This site was occupied by the Beccles Free School in 2014 when it moved from Carlton Colville.

In the Ofsted inspection report dated February 2006 it was rated as a 'good' school with a 'good' sixth form. In February 2009 it was again rated as a generally 'good' school, although with some features which were judged 'satisfactory'. The sixth form provision was judged as achieved an overall effectiveness of 'satisfactory', although post-16 curriculum provision was judged 'good'. The school's subsequent inspection reports again graded it as 'good' overall in October 2011 and October 2016.[1][2]
