About Sir John Leman High School

Sir John Leman High School is a mixed comprehensive secondary school and sixth form, situated in the historic market town of Beccles, Suffolk, on the edge of the Norfolk Broads.

It aims to create a friendly, purposeful environment characterised by high expectations and exemplary standards of behaviour.

Every student is valued as an individual and helped to develop confidence and self-esteem and to achieve in all areas of school life.

At the heart of our success is a passionate team of dedicated professionals who understand that every second of education counts. We are united by a deep commitment to our students and the community we serve. They are the very core of our purpose.
