Pakefield School is a coeducational secondary school located in Pakefield, a suburb of Lowestoft in the English county of Suffolk. The school opened in September 2011, initially with Years 7 and 8 only, using buildings which were previously Pakefield Middle School.[1] The school became the first new state high school to be built in Suffolk for over 20 years as part of the reorganisation of schools in Lowestoft, a process which saw the closure of eight middle schools and a change from transfer to high school at age 13 to transfer at age 11.[1][2]
The school caters for around 900 students aged from 11 to 16 and cost £26.5 million to build.[3] It was expected to open in September 2010,[4] although this was delayed due to the discovery of Great Crested Newts on the school site.[5] Perry Linsley, formerly head of Stradbroke Business and Enterprise College, was the school's first Headteacher.[1] In January 2016 Linsley announced that he would be leaving the school at Easter 2016 to take up the position of Principal in a new school in Dubai. From September 2016 the current Headteacher is Mr Anthony Walker.
