Admissions
The school provides government funded education for children from Year 9 to Year 11, and takes them through GCSE and BTEC courses. It also has an integrated sixth form which sees many of its pupils later attending some of the UK's top universities ever year. This takes students through A-Levels and AVCEs. IB courses are also available and many students have found that the course is becoming more popular among their prospective universities with some offers being recently lowered.
Until the end of 2010, the school's headteacher was Dr Iain Melvin O.B.E, who had served for 22 years. The current headteacher is Michael Foley who started at the school in September 2011.
The school is situated on the western edge of Dorchester, next to Thomas Hardye Leisure Centre.
