Lynn Grove High School is a secondary school with academy status, located in Gorleston in Great Yarmouth in the English county of Norfolk. The school educates about 1100 children between the ages of 11 and 16. The school was originally constructed as one main building which has been extended and other blocks and facilities such as a new library and astroturf area have been added.
School history
The school building was originally built for the Great Yarmouth High School for Girls which moved from Trafalgar Road in Great Yarmouth to the new building in 1957. It became the coeducational Gorleston Grammar School in 1970. In 2015, the school officially became an academy, and rebranded appropriately.
The school's own website and senior staff both promote a friendly, safe environment for students regardless of sexuality, gender, race, religion or any other general feature. However, multiple students have noted and complained about the school's strictly Christian views, and hypocrisy relating to its LGBT-ally status; examples of the latter include segregating a child who came out as gay from the others during times when the changing rooms are being used.
Ofsted reports
The school was inspected by Ofsted in 2010, receiving an overall Grade 1 (outstanding).[1] After becoming an academy the school was inspected in December 2013 when it was judged inadequate (Grade 4).[2]
