School Buildings
On site facilities include a swimming pool, healthy-food and drink vending machines, a cashless vending system operated by the users thumbprint and personal code and a large library.
Circling the perimeter of the school buildings (not counting the front field) three times is roughly 1 mile, as proved by the entire school running the "Sport Relief Mile" in 2008.
The school retains all of its original 1950s structures, however inside these are quite aged now and extensive renovation work has been put into the Science rooms, giving them a complete refit, the Art and Design & Technology rooms, (in some cases completely remodelling them). In most areas of the school, the original brass light switches can be found still in use.
