New Buildings
At the end of the 1990s, The Modern Foreign Languages block was built separately from the other school buildings next to the swimming pool, allowing the department to have its own buildings and rooms instead of moving between empty ones of another subject. This was dubbed the "New Block", but has now reverted to "Languages Block" with the rooms losing the "N" prefix to be replaced by the "L" (e.g. L2). In 2003/4 the Humanities block was built as an add-on to the science buildings, which gave the humanities department a lot more breathing room and moved them from the upstairs of the Science department, allowing the Science department to branch out. Two mobile classrooms have also been built taking up small portions of what used to be the main playground. These were intended as temporary units for classroom overflow, but have since become much more permanent, with new ramps and such to the doors. There are two rooms in each unit. The rooms have been recently refurbished and are now home to year 7 creating a fun and bright environment. There are now 4 mobiles, split in half to make 8 classrooms. To non-year 7 students, the mobiles serve as classrooms for an all-round general purpose, from English to Business Studies.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
