The former Great Yarmouth Grammar School, which was founded in 1551, became the comprehensive Great Yarmouth High School in September 1981. In 1998 the school was awarded Technology College Specialist Status and in 1999 was designated V.A (Christian non-denominational) reflecting the terms of its Foundation. It is under the jurisdiction of Norfolk LEA.[1]
In November 2008 the Technology Specialist College status ended as the school became a Humanities Specialist College. This followed an extremely successful Ofsted report the preceding May which decreed that the school was good with outstanding features.
Both the school and the town share the same shield. The school colours are black and red. The High Standard is the school newspaper which is produced twice a year, around May and November.
