The buildings/blocks are named after past headmasters or the subject taught there. The current buildings and their uses are as follows:

  • The building (A) – Art and Drama
  • The Business Centre(B) – Business Studies, Economics, Law and Philosophy

  • The Walker building (W) – Sciences, Geography, History and Religious Education
  • The Nigel Briers Building (W) – English, History, Government and Politics and study area
  • The PE building (P) – Physical Education and studies

General Studies can be taught in any block in the school, depending on the rooms of the teachers teaching the subject that year. Each building has a letter code consisting of the first letter of its name, with the exception of the Briers building, which, for this purpose, is considered an extension of the Walker building. These letters are used to designate room names, for example, the second room (2) on the first floor (1) of the Hawkins building (H) is known as H12. Ground floor rooms have no floor number, so the third room (3) on the ground floor of the Walker building (W) is W3. Floor numbering does not extend to the Business Centre, where first floor rooms have single digit numbers.

The school's swimming pool is operated by an independent charity, Calday Grange Swimming Pool Trust.
