History and administration

In the early 1970s, Margaret Thatcher re-opened the school in her role as Secretary of State for Education and Science.

In 2002, the school was awarded specialist school status as an Arts College, which allows the school to apply for extra funding in this subject.

In 2004, its new sixth form building was opened by local MP Claire Curtis-Thomas.

Headed by Mr D. A. Mackenzie, the school now accommodates over 1,000 students.
