East Bergholt High School
Description
East Bergholt High School is a secondary school in East Bergholt, Suffolk, 11mi north of Colchester, Essex, and nine miles (14 km) south of Ipswich, Suffolk. It has 926 students. The current headteacher is Mr Colin Turner.HistoryThe school opened on its present site in 1957 as East Bergholt Modern School. It replaced a Victorian-built school at Burnt Oak, East Bergholt, at the junction of Flatford Road and White Horse Road.East Bergholt Modern School took children aged 11–16 from East Bergholt and surrounding villages, including Brantham, Bentley, Capel St Mary, Copdock, Washbrook, Raydon and Holton St Mary. Many of these villages had their own primary schools. These children would have not passed the 11+ examination or chose not to attend a higher school after passing it. The school's focus at the time was on technical rather than academic ability, with a leaning towards rural and domestic science.The original school building - still in use in 2016 - has a hall, library, kitchens and about ten classrooms. Originally, two of these were especially equipped for cookery/needlework and science/rural science.A second building opened in 1971, with a ceremony performed by Margaret Thatcher, then education minister. This building was largely open-plan with the exception of the music and art/craft rooms. A new science section on the northern side of the first floor had three rooms, again open-plan. The school roll at the time was 350.A sports hall opened at the same time. Between 1972-75, a campaign led by villager Jan Watts led to an open-air heated swimming pool being built to the north of the sports hall. The sports hall was extended in 1997, and its facilities, including a fitness studio, gym, hard courts and grass pitches, are shared with the community.
