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]
