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 and/or school:
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The problem for the King is just how strict
The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law
And discipline should be in school and state....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
