The Denes High School, Grade II listed secondary school in Lowestoft, England.
The Denes High School is a listed secondary school in Lowestoft featuring a Queen Anne-style facade and located on spacious grounds. The building was designed to serve as a major educational facility for the town with substantial facilities for sports and outdoor activities.
The school was founded in 1910 to replace an earlier private educational institution in the town. It grew to become the public secondary school serving the local area.
The school became a gathering place for students from across the town and shaped educational life in the region after its opening. Today the building itself reflects the values and ambitions of its founding era through its architectural design.
The school is situated on Yarmouth Road near the A47 and is accessible by public transportation. A sports training center on the grounds welcomes community use when not reserved for school activities.
During World War II more than 300 students were evacuated to Worksop for several years to escape air raids. This temporary relocation was an unusual measure taken to continue the school's operations during wartime.
