The main buildings are over 90 years old and symbolise a tradition of successful education. The introduction of Local Management and, in 1994, Grant-Maintained Status enabled us to embark on a programme of modernisation and, although there are still areas of the school that we plan to improve, recent years have seen a transformation of our provision. 

   

New buildings have included accommodation for Technology, a Library Resource Centre, the Sixth Form and classrooms.  Inside the original building, the refurbished Science Laboratories and the Computer Suite head the list of improvements.  All of the boys’ toilets have been recently refurbished and the governors have released funding to upgrade other neglected corners of the school as well as to match the funding from a successful bid to build and equip a multigym.

  

We have obtained outline planning permission for a sports hall but we have so far been unable to obtain the funding necessary to build a facility that would support and extend the school’s sporting ambitions and achievements.
