Resources and Buildings
An all-weather full-sized semi-floodlit football pitch of FIFA standards opened in 2007; it is equally divisible into three smaller pitches which can be used for a variety of sports. With this, and a multi-function gym, is a new learning resource centre (LRC), equipped with an interactive whiteboard, digital projector, 61 computers, and a library containing fiction, reference, and non-fiction. An area for careers and further education is chiefly used for reference by older students. Other modern school buildings include a sports hall, and technology blocks with modern workshops for metalwork, woodwork, and industrial technology.
The school comprises historic buildings, including "Big School", believed to be one of the original teaching rooms of the 16th century. The older Grade II Listed buildings at 38-40 Carre Street one of which was previously the Headmaster's House during the boarding school days, now hold the sixth form common rooms, and Assistant Headteacher's offices. Outside the Old School House is the Headmaster's Garden, the use of which is solely reserved for 6th form and staff.
