Sudbury Upper School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sudbury Upper School (full name 'Sudbury Upper School and Arts College') is a 13 - 18 upper school in the town of Sudbury, Suffolk. The school was established in 1972, following the change to the comprehensive school system. Sudbury Upper School was an amalgamation of Sudbury Grammar School, the High School for Girls and the Modern Secondary School.

The school has an average student population of approximately 1,000, with 230 in the sixth form. The school has a separate performing arts block, a sports centre open to the public and an extension for the modern foreign languages and mathematics departments.

The current headteacher is David Forrest, and the uniform consists of a black v-neck sweater and white dress shirt, both of which sport the school's logo on the left breast. The uniform previously consisted of a plain white shirt and a black and red striped tie, but this ceased for the new intake in 2005. The school's logo is a modified version of the town crest, specifically stripped down to only the crest section, which has also been modified slightly to keep in the modern atmosphere of the school. Students in the sixth form can wear what they like, within reason (no shredded clothes, large areas of flesh showing etc.).
