The school is currently under the administration of headteacher Roger Burman of Winterhill School. Under this new management a restructuring of staff has taken place which risks up to 8 staff being made redundant. Demonstrations have been held in Rotherham and strike action has been taken. Staff and parents are concerned that the nature of the school and admission policy will change to cater for children with different needs.
