Background
Architecture
The original parts of the building include the tower block, and the ground floor building connected to it, which covers the main hall and science blocks. The newer buildings include the Qdos 6th Form Building, which opened in 2010 replacing two ageing mobile huts and partly extending the Jubilee building, the Sealy Building, Sports Hall and Sports Centre and the Jubilee Building which opened in 2003. The newest additions are the Naylor Building and the Dining Hall. This has enabled departments to grow and offer more to its pupils by way of facilities and improved teaching rooms.
