Continuing Development
Since the sale of the Queen Mary site, a new block was built in 2003 to house the junior school on the ground floor, and 11 new senior classrooms on the first floor, housing three computer labs, a multimedia language lab, and classrooms for art and modern languages.
The 1960s block (housing music, food technology, maths and English) was also refurbished at the same time; the kitchen/dining room was moved into the former bike sheds at this time too.
In 2005 the library was relocated back to its former location (in the original dining room) and this underwent extensive refurbishment.
In 2007 ground floor classrooms in the original 1908 building were refurbished, and many original wooden windows were replaced. 2008 saw science laboratories upgraded and improved as well as an improved careers and further education advice room.
During 2008, the Main School Hall was restored, with the original stage re-instated, as well as the addition of state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment to suit many hall configurations, including theatre 'in the round'.

Famous quotes containing the words continuing and/or development:
“A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
