Felixstowe Academy
Felixstowe School is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England.
The school was formed in September 2011 from the merger of Orwell High School and Deben High School. Formerly, the school operated from both of these school sites, before all pupils were later accommodated by the recently constructed new buildings at the former Orwell High School site, with the old Deben High School premise being closed. Felixstowe School's new buildings cost approximately £19 million, and were officially opened for teaching on Monday 28 April 2014.
The school was previously sponsored by AET but from September 2019, it was taken over by a local Suffolk trust, Unity Schools Partnership, who sponsor a number of successful schools across the county.
The school offers further education (FE) courses, primarily at A Level, but also several specialised vocational courses.
In 2017, the school received an 'inadequate' rating from Ofsted. In 2021, the school was judged to no longer require Special Measures and Ofsted graded the school as "Requires Improvement"
Orwell High School was a medium size secondary community school with Specialist Technology College status.
In 2006 the school was issued with a notice to improve. There was a subsequent inspection in 2007 in which the school was seen to be making "satisfactory progress" and therefore the notice to improve was revoked. In 2010 51% of Orwell candidates gained five GCSEs at grades A* to C including English and Maths. In October 2009 OFSTED stated that the school was satisfactory, but Leadership and Management and the Capacity to Improve were both good.
In September 2009 the school became a foundation school supported by the charitable Felixstowe Learning Trust.
