Blocks
The school is split into four buildings or 'blocks' in which different subjects are taught. The first block (referred to as 'A block') is the oldest block in the school. This block is split into two parts: one containing some technology classrooms and workshops, and the other containing a variety of rooms including the main hall, reception, learning support centre, library and some generic classrooms. 'A block' also houses the Able Autism Base, a section of the school dedicated to supporting and including students with Asperger's Syndrome and High Functioning Autism, and two dedicated ICT rooms, each equipped with a Smartboard, around 32 computers.
'B block' houses Mathematics, Science and Geography. There are 13 science laboratories B block, however two of them have been converted to be used as additional music rooms and as such are no longer used as laboratories.
'C block' is designated as the Performing Arts block, and as such the music, dance and drama rooms are housed here. There are also three small recording studios which can feed sound through to the main music room. This block also houses the sixth form centre.
'D block' holds the citizenship, PE, RE, PSHE, and languages classrooms. This is one of the older blocks and as such does not have the same modern equipment as the other blocks in the school, (some don't have smartboards but all have projectors) . As this block is rather small, the rooms are generally used for more than one subject.

Famous quotes containing the word blocks:
“The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women’s emancipation.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.””
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“He has given me six hundred street signs.
The time I was dancing he built a museum.
He built ten blocks when I moved on the bed.
He constructed an overpass when I left.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
