Deanery High School

The school opened in 1971 as a successor to All Saints School, which was founded in 1931.[3] It was previously housed mainly in former All Saints buildings; however, starting in summer 2015 most of these old buildings were demolished in order to make way for a new £15 million build, funded under the Government's Priority Schools' Building Programme (PSBP).[4][5] The classrooms, offices and other facilities once housed in the now demolished buildings were relocated into temporary buildings at the rear of the school near its all-weather pitch, with the first new buildings to be occupied in September 2017, after which the rest of the old buildings were to be demolished.[6] The school's sports hall was also renovated, with the classrooms in that building, formerly used for English, now housing a new music department, featuring two larger classrooms, a recording studio, an office for the heads of the performing arts and PE departments and a staff work room for the two departments.

The Deanery High School has a 6th Form College, offering A-Levels as well as Level 2 and 3 BTEC courses.[7] Until 2017, the school offered Latin at GCSE level; it had previously also been an A-Level subject.[8]

The 2016 OFSTED report said the school is "good".[9]
