The school is a Co-Educational Day School founded in honour of England's greatest composer, and child of Lowestoft, Benjamin Britten. We are part of the Hartismere Family of Schools - judged as Outstanding by Ofsted and are sponsored by The Britten Pears Foundation.
The school has recently been completely redesigned and refurbished: every ceiling, every door, every wall and every floor. A Dance Studio, Green Room, Theatre and two Art Studios, including Art gardens have been completed. A suite of new Science Laboratories complements new Computing Rooms and Dining Halls.
The school hosts Suffolk's Centre of Excellence in Mathematics designated to raise standards throughout the Lowestoft and Suffolk areas. The Centre is beautifully designed and provides first class support for learning. Five dedicated Computing Suites and a Mathematics Library, stocked with i Macs and spanning two floors, are adjacent to a suite of teaching rooms.
The school offers scholarships for those students with musical aptitude and enthusiasm, and a range of musical opportunities more usually found in private education.
Our school has good community links and a legacy of raising tens of thousands of pounds every year for local and national charities.
The school has always been renowned for the quality of its extra-curricular activities, from success in sports to highly polished dramatic and musical productions. The highly successful Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is a strength of the school .
