Admissions

Currently, the Headteacher is David Hutton, who was appointed in October 2009, taking over from former long-serving Headteacher Neil Watts, who retired at the end of the 2008/9 academic year. Mr Hutton had served previously as Deputy Head at the school.

The school has dual Language College and Science College specialist status, and has specially equipped centres for both subjects following the school's extensive re-development programme throughout the 90s. The school also makes use of the Council-run Northgate Sports Centre, which has an Olympic standard running track.[2].

History

It was previously two schools: Northgate Grammar School for Boys and Northgate Grammar School for Girls. Previous to that it was Ipswich Municipal Secondary School.

Language College

Awarded Language College status in 1999, this was the first Language College designated in Suffolk. This development has led to outreach work taking place in both the school's main feeder schools and across other schools in the county. [3].

Academic performance

In its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2008, the school was graded as "Outstanding" overall, with a number of individual outstanding grades[4]. GCSE results are consistently above the national and regional averages, and at A-Level it gets results similar to a grammar school: the fifth best in Suffolk in 2008.
