[edit] Building Schools for the Future

As part of the national 'Building Schools for the Future' initiative, in the next decade plans have been made to completely refurbish and extend the school in the £20 million building programme. This construction is expected to begin this year, in which one block will be demolished, another refurbished, and another built on the 'flag grounds'.
