Felixstowe Academy is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Felixstowe, Suffolk, England. The school was formed in September 2011 from the merger of Orwell High School and Deben High School. Formerly, the school operated from both of these school sites, before all pupils were later accommodated by the recently constructed new buildings at the former Orwell High School site, with the old Deben High School premise being closed. Felixstowe Academy's new buildings costed approximately £19 million, and were officially opened for teaching on Monday 28th April, 2014. The school offers further education (FE) courses, primarily at A Level, but also several specialised vocational courses. ==History== Orwell High School was a medium size secondary community school with Specialist Technology College status. In 2006 the school was issued with a notice to improve.〔(Ofsted Report, 2006 ), 9 March 2006. Retrieved 5 May 2010〕 There was a subsequent inspection in 2007 in which the school was seen to be making "satisfactory progress" and therefore the notice to improve was revoked.〔(Ofsted Report, 2007 ), 18 May 2007. Retrieved 5 May 2010〕 In 2010 51% of Orwell candidates gained five GCSEs grade A * to C in English and Maths.〔a 26% rise on the previous year's results (BBC Education Profile - Orwell High School ) 13 January 2010.
