Bungay High School is a mixed-sex secondary school with academy status in the town of Bungay in the north of the English county of Suffolk. It caters for children aged 11 to 18. The school was founded as Bungay Grammar School in 1565 and became Bungay High School in 1974.[1][2] It occupies a site on the Queens Road site to the south of the town centre.
The school operates a sixth form on the site of the high school. This caters for post-16 students, including offering a range of vocational and academic qualification. The school also operates North Suffolk Skills Academy in Halesworth 9 miles (14 km) south of Bungay. This has recently closed down due to the lack of funding.
In 2016, the school was awarded an Ofsted inspection rating of 'good'.[3]
