Buildings

In 2019 the school requested planning permission for an extension to the building to replace temporary classrooms. [2] These had been on the site since 2008 and, because of their damp condition, were thought to be causing minor illnesses for students and staff. [2] The new extension is planned to provide sixth-form accommodation. [2]

School performance

The school's first inspection following academisation was in 2016, with the judgement of Good. [3] There was a further inspection in 2020, which repeated the judgement of Good. [4]
