This is the neighbourhood and community school for Harleston and its surrounding villages, as well as the only Church of England High School in Norfolk, so it is supported by the Norwich Diocesan Board of Education as well as by Norfolk Children’s Services.

The school’s Mission Statement, bringing together both spiritual and educational goals, sets out the aims to which all who work in the school aspire.  

All students are offered broad choices, beyond National Curriculum requirements, and  public examination results place the school above average for Norfolk and the country. All lessons are taught in dedicated classrooms. The teaching block, opened in 2001, includes a library resource centre and computer suite, together with classrooms equipped with inter-active whiteboards, providing an additional specialist environment for teaching and learning. All students have the opportunity to benefit from the excellent programme of staff-led activities and visits out of school. 

In the 2006 Ofsted report, the school was judged to be good in all areas, and outstanding in its provision for the personal development and well-being of learners. This is a standard on which we aim to build and improve. The school has now been designated a Specialist Science College and this will give impetus to new developments and open up further possibilities for enhancing the quality of learning in the school. The dedicated and committed staff are determined to offer the best possible learning experience for all students, whatever their abilities or needs. 

The Governors are responsible both to the local authority and the diocese for the overall educational provision of the school. They particularly welcome the involvement of parents and carers, whether by supporting the school through the Friends of Archbishop Sancroft High School (FOTASHS) or, more importantly, through the active encouragement and support they give to students throughout their school careers.

We look forward to meeting you – students and adults alike – and to working in partnership with you all. We trust the information in the pages which follow will help you to become more familiar with the school.
