On the ground floor, there are the "creative" subjects, including ICT, Business, Art, Design Technology and PE. There is also the reception area, sixth form common room and atrium. On the first floor, there are the humanities subjects (English, Modern Foreign Languages, History and Geography). The second floor is the home to the Maths rooms and Science Labs.
