It became comprehensive with the rest of Scunthorpe in 1968. The new comprehensive was for Alkborough, Appleby, Roxby-cum-Risby, West Halton, Whitton, and Winteringham. After further enlargement it would be for 300 more children, to include Flixborough and Burton-upon-Stather. It cost £147,309 for 450 to 750 places. [2]

Phase 1 was built in 1972. [3] Mr A Ecclestone was headteacher from 1961 to 1978, who had attended St Catharine's College, Cambridge. [4]
