[edit] Lowestoft 6th Form

The Denes is a part of the Lowestoft sixth form consortium, which is made out of Kirkley Community High School and Benjamin Britten High School, which are the other two high schools in Lowestoft. The Denes has grown in recent years, as it comes back from the mid 1990's, which saw the school at its worst. This is great credit towards all the staff notably Mr Lincoln, the Headteacher and the Deputy Head, Mrs E Hick!
