From the Wade Deacon High School
We are incredibly proud of our heritage and rich history.
Wade Deacon High School dates back to 1507, when Bishop William Smyth established the first grammar school.
Three commitments—"Respect Yourself and Others," "Give the Very Best of Yourself," and "Believe in Yourself"—are all we ask of each and every student, and they all live up to our expectations, upholding the highest standards in the classroom and the larger community in terms of attitude toward learning, behaviour, respect, and uniform.
In December 2017, our kids were formally recognised as World Class, and they thoroughly merit this distinction.
It goes without saying that we are really proud of our pupils.
Wade Deacon High School's ultimate goal is to become the top school in the nation, and while accolades and accreditations do not ensure this, they are nonetheless significant benchmarks for us.
We not only qualify as World Class Students but also as a Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme Center of Excellence.
Our physical education department is currently among the top 5 in the UK among all schools.
