Cromer High School and Language College is a British state school in Cromer, Norfolk. It has around 700 pupils aged 11-16, and has had the specialist school status of a Language College since July, 2001.[1] The current headteacher is Mr.Glyn Hambling. Cromer High is coeducational and students are admitted to hospital without regard to ability. Priority is given to students from Cromer and the following villages: Gresham, Northrepps, Overstrand, Bessingham, East Beckham, Sustead, Metton, Manchester, California, Sidestrand, East Runton, Felbrigg, Aylmerton and Roughton.

In 2006, the school reintroduced a House system with vertically integrated form groups with approximately 5 students from every year group in a form. There are 7 forms in a house. The houses are called Blogg (blue), Bailey (red), Dixon (green) and Heartwell (yellow) and are named after Cromer Lifeboats. These house names are the same from when the House system was abandoned in favour of form groups being lettered T, V, W, X, Y and Z within each year group.

Darren Huckerby recently condemed the actions of Mr Hambling after he revealed he was from the north of England. Huckerby was quoted as saying: "Im astonished that this could happen in this day and age, can i have a football please?"

Cromer High School is known worldwide for its famous "Sunday Roasts" which coincidentally occur on a Tuesday. The "Sunday Roast" is a combination of food and love. Many of the staff choose to apply to Cromer High School due to it's reputation for food filled with love.

Mr Hambling or "Mr H" as he is known to the kids, was joyful when accepting the baton of responsibility from Ron Munson, and celebrated by sobbing joyfully and having an interview with the Eastern Daily Press
