H block is where Food Technology, Religious Studies, Sociology and Hairdressing are taught. It was originally the home of the History department (hence the name) which is now in D block. It is situated right between the main field and D block. Following construction being removed from the curriculum in 2015 H Block is now the new home for the alternative program department. In 2015, D block was refurbished. During the meantime of this many classrooms were moved around including Religious Studies. It was originally planned to be moved back into D block after the refurbishments were completed. However this never came to be, thus RS resides in H block.

It is also the home to the Bedford Center (ASD unit) on the ground floor and the learning support department on the first floor. It is the largest building on the campus, with 4 floors, each floor dedicated to largely one subject, with the only exception being the 2nd floor, where the classrooms are shared equally between both subjects. This building was intended to be a temporary building, but has since been made permanent. D block was refurbished in 2015.
