The school was rebuilt from older buildings, and a new PFI school was opened to pupils on 2 November 2006.[5] The new school buildings – which received criticism over its aesthetics, being described as "a terrible mess" with "huge liquorice allsorts" on the roof – were officially opened by local MP Vera Baird on 7 November 2007.[6][7] The same day the school's fair trade shop began trading.[8][9]
The school was accepted, with 114 other schools, onto the trust school programme in April 2008.[10]
In 2008, 61% of pupils achieved 5A*-C GCSEs, including English and Maths.[11]
The school won the 'DCSF Award for Sustainable Schools in the North-East and Cumbria' in the Teaching Awards 2009.[12]
The school's headteacher Alaisdair Kesson resigned in 2013, a year after joining the school.
