Northgate High School (previously comprising Northgate Grammar School for Boys and Northgate Grammar School for Girls) is a co-educationalsecondary school situated in north Ipswich, Suffolk, England. It is a co-educational comprehensive school, for ages 11–16, and 16-18 in the Sixth Form Department. It has approximately 1736 children on roll.[1]
It was previously two schools: Northgate Grammar School for Boys and Northgate Grammar School for Girls. Earlier, it was Ipswich Municipal Secondary School.
Language Collegeedit
Awarded Language College status in 1999, this was the first Language College designated in Suffolk. This development led to outreach work taking place in both the school's main feeder schools and across other schools in the county.[3]
Academic performanceedit
In its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2012, the school was graded as "Good" overall, with a number of individual outstanding grades.[4] GCSE results are consistently above the national and regional averages, and at A-Level it gets results similar to a grammar school: the fifth best in Suffolk in 2008. In 2013, the school was placed in the top 100 state schools in England.[5]
