Denefield School is a comprehensive secondary school located in Tilehurst, Reading, Berkshire, England. The headmaster is Mr Joint. The school was founded in 1976 and opened with 180 students in Year 7. Since then Denefield has continued to grow, with approximately 1,200 students attending during the 2005-2006 school year. The school became a grant-maintained school in 1992, and was awarded a specialism as a Technology College in 1994. In 1999, Denefield became a foundation school and in 2004 achieved training school status.
The latest OFSTED report from 2005 described Denefield as a 'good school with some features'.[2]
[edit] Building
The original school building, although only meant to be temporary, is still standing today. A new block, which now contains the library (run by Mrs Kane) and the humanities department, was opened in 2001. There are plans for a new school, known as the Tilehurst Learning Campus,[3] which will combine primary schools from the surrounding area and Brookfields School with Denefield, but this may not go ahead due to monetary and planning concerns.
