In May 2008, Principal David Hampson suspended[3] 74 pupils for using the school computers to play a simple game based on the movie [Tron].[4] The game was brought into the school on USB drives and passed between the students. The school also forbids mobile phones or any other electronic equipment.

Some students and parents have often show their disaproval for Hampson. Now only has he turned the school into a prison, forcing parents to use tokens to actually enter the school to pick up their children. He also took away healthy school meals and replaced them with a fast food chain; whilst at the same time filling in the swimming pool to cut costs. Not really a man to promote fitness within children he is more famed for promoting children to believe they should be drones who follow the business path as opposed to expressing their natural talents in life.
