Design of The School
There are 10 different buildings, each based around a subject: Arkwright (Design and Technology), Banks (Geography and History), Curie (Modern Languages), Darwin (Science and English), Escher (Art and Canteen), Fibonacci (Science and IT), Galileo (Mathematics and IT), Halley (Religious Education and Mathematics), Irving (Performing Arts, music and Languages), and the Wolfson building, named after The Wolfson Company (Science, English and Business Studies). There is also a gymnasium and sports hall.
The school also has two large playing fields, with football, rugby and hockey pitches, and several outside courts that are used for physical education and extracurricula activities.
On 28 April 2004 the Earl of Wessex opened the Galileo Block. On 11 October 1996 the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the school, on the same day she opened the new University of Lincolnshire and Humberside, after arriving at RAF Waddington. She met headteacher Paul Strong and Maurice Keyte, Chairman of the Governors, and opened the Banks Block. The school is now an Associate School of the University of Lincoln. The university's Riseholme Campus is nearby to the west.
In September 2010 plans were unveiled for a community swimming pool to be built on the school site.

Famous quotes containing the words design of, design and/or school:
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
