The school has its own private drive from Lees Hall Road which leads on to a split site with one wing partially demolished.

This wing now holds two science labs, the Design and Technology and Business Studies departments with some IT suits. Another Wing further along the drive, Newfield Learning Centre (Previously known as East Wing) is the main building of the school and contains most aspects of the school. Behind this is a tempory building called the Village which houses R.E, English, Art and Dance. Also situated on the site is the South Sheffield Computer Learning Centre (CLC) which is closed temporally for extention work and will open fully in September 2008.
