The school was originally constructed as one main block which has been extended as well as other blocks. The modern foreign languages block, sports hall and new dining hall are the newest additions. The building work for accommodation for Year 7 pupils began in December 2006; the car park will be made larger, classrooms added to the north face of the building, and a Learning Resource Centre in the place of an unused gym.[1]
